DESCRIPTION

The Whispering Webs Socks capture the eerie elegance of spider webs glistening in the candlelight, inspired by the delicate webs found all over a famous Haunted Mansion. An all-over web motif winds continuously around the sock, with four contrasting colors alternating against a single main background color for a playful pop of color. These socks are knit from the cuff down and feature an afterthought heel. Stranded colorwork is used throughout the design, creating an engaging knit filled with hauntingly beautiful details.
