Product Details

The Ridge and Furrow sock is inspired by the landscape relics often seen in the hard shadows of autumn in the fields of my local area. Ridge and Furrow was an obsolete type of strip farming, communal agriculture begun largely in the Early Medieval period, that continued until enclosures of the 18th and 19th centuries. The pattern of ridges and furrows is often all that remains in the modern landscape of a way of life that lasted generations.  The Ridge and Furrow sock is worked top down with a rib cuff, which transitions into the slip stitch rib pattern, that again transitions into the garter ridge band heel. After the heel the garter ridge pattern continues down the sole of the sock, while the instep slip stitch rib, transitions into the same garter ridge pattern to the toe which is the worked and the toe is grafted.
