A playful journey through texture, colour and planned pooling, inspired by one of the woodland’s most magical fungi.

Fly Agaric explores what happens when carefully chosen stitch patterns meet a yarn designed to pool and shift colour. As you knit, the colours dance across the fabric, creating unexpected little flashes and patterns, while the textured stitches add depth and character.

The socks are designed to be an experiment as much as a project—inviting you to watch the yarn evolve as you knit and discover how stitch placement can influence the way the colours pool.

Perfect for knitters who enjoy trying something a little different, Fly Agaric combines a touch of woodland magic with an engaging mix of techniques, texture and colour.
