What’s the buzz? "FLAT FEET" new concept in sock knitting?
The new concept is there are no skeins, no balls, no tangles. The yarn is presented in a commercially knit stockinette “flat” which has been handpainted. You simply unravel as you knit. DO NOT WIND INTO A BALL. Knit directly from the flat into the sock of your choice.
It’s creative, it’s fun and it’s easy.
Flat + Needles = Socks.
“We tested several yarns for durability, softness, appropriateness, availability, color retention and cost,” said Mary Arnold, one of the owners. The soft yarn we chose is 80% Superwash merino/20% nylon. Each flat is 50 gm and packaged as two flats, one for each sock. The flats are generous—enough for men’s socks, if desired.
Because each flat is hand-painted, no other pair will match the flats; these are “art socks”, one-of-a-kind. The unique color pattern develops as the flat is knit. It is literally a color transformation at the needletip. Depending on the pattern selected, the colors may yield diagonal colors, slight striping, or even bold color.
