Blown Away

“Henry! Henry! I can’t find Dorothy! She’s somewhere out in the storm!” - Auntie Em, The Wizard of Oz

The adventure to Oz begins as a tornado sweeps its way through Kansas, blowing away everything in its path-- including Dorothy’s house! These socks are an adventure of their own with twisting cables and windswept lace patterns dancing their way across the plains. Constructed from the cuff down, these socks use a repeated cable/lace pattern that is both charted and written. The slip stitch heel flap creates a unique woven look that adds durability to your footwear, while gusset decreases in stockinette create clean lines with a perfect fit. It’s time for your socks to be Blown Away… ready for whatever adventure the weather might bring.
