This is a very Canadian sock! The fibre is sourced from Canadian sheep and processed in a Canadian Mill. It’s then dyed by a Canadian Dyer (Stephanie at Knitley Road) and she mails it to me, a Canadian knitwear designer and knitter (the pattern was also edited by a Canadian tech editor and tested by Canadian knitters).

Stephanie and I are on a mission to make a very Canadian sock to commemorate Canada’s 150th birthday. Canada Deh! Is worked from the top down and features a charted maple leaf that can be worked using either intarsia in the round or fair isle. The sock features a short row heel and traditional wedge toe.
