The Smart Heart socks are the perfect everyday socks in a classic 2 x 2 rib stitch. They are knitted in a soft alpaca and merino wool blend yarn with some added nylon for durability. The sock cuffs are folded at the end and finished offf with a cute little embroidered heart.

These socks remind me of my Grandfather who used to wear wool socks all year long, even throughout the sumer with sneakers. He knew that wool socks keep your feet warm in the winter, and won’t make them sweaty in the summer. A man with a smart heart.
