plus12socks over-the-knee:
Old-fashioned, thick merino
€ 19,90
Sorry, we couldn’t resist: While our modern knitting machines produce almost finished socks (the toes of our plus12socks still have to be sewn by hand), our vintage Bentley knitting machines produce long tubes that are then cut down to size and finished by hand. When we loaded the machine with this gorgeous purple merino wool yarn for the first time, we were so delighted with the result that no one thought to press the stop button. And suddenly we found ourselves with these lovely over-the-knee plus12socks that we just had to show off. If you want a pair, you’ll have to be patient, though: we only make them to order (approx. 2-3 weeks).

A note on our OLD-FASHIONED socks: The knitting machine that can knit the innovative toe shape of our plus12socks has yet to be invented, so we sew the curve in the toe area of each sock by hand and hide the seam in the plush at the tip. There’s no plush in the toes of socks knitted on our vintage English Bentley knitting machines, so you can feel the seam quite distinctly at first. But no worries: After wearing and washing the socks a few times, the seam becomes softer and softer until it’s barely noticeable.

Care instructions
Our plus12socks made of merino wool particularly like it when they are washed inside out and are not bothered by zippers and jeans rivets in the washing machine. Our tip: use a laundry bag for the socks. After washing, we recommend gently stretching the socks into shape in both directions.
