Miura Socks

Enjoy 20% Off introductory discount until end of Sunday, 4th of October Helsinki time. Named for the Miura-ori, a Japanese folding technique built from a repeating grid, the Miura Socks turn that same sense of structure into graphic colorwork. There are no long floats to snag or fuss with. It’s the kind of colorwork that looks striking yet is not complicated. All colorwork is charted.
