Product Details
Mallaig is a fishing town in the western Highlands of Scotland. The motifs I have chosen for these socks were some of those documented on ganseys from this region by Gladys Thompson. The heavier yarn and gauge used here will make a rugged boot sock, perfect for hiking. The socks are knitted from the cuff to the toe in the round.
