Inspired by Just Like Heaven by Julia Quinn, Book One of the Smythe-Smith Quartet, the Touchstone socks feature a continuous line from the cuff through the leg and into the heel. This twisted rib and cable line is evocative of Honoria and Marcus’ relationship from childhood, growing into something strong and essential to their lives.
