A&P Morris & Co. Classic Sock Mini Skeins
We’ve always admired the timelessness of the designs of Morris & Co so they were a natural starting point when thinking of themes for our first series of letterbox minis.
Five beautiful minis, wrapped in tissue with the inspirational William Morris postcard. Knit or crochet as you fancy into edgings and borders or as socks, mittens and hats.
November’s colours are from the Holland Park Carpet, designed by William Morris for the drawing room of 1 Holland Park. The socks are a striped version of the Homebody Socks by This Handmade Life. (link opens in Ravelry)
October’s colours are based on the Pink & Rose wallpaper designed by William Morris in 1890. The sample sock is Patchwork Quilt Socks by Knitail using Milk & Honey Classic sock as the main colour.
September and we’re trying to hold on to summer for just that little bit longer with Golden Lily. The sample is our Lewes mitt and can be found here
August and it’s possibly William Morris’ most famous design, Strawberry Thief. Dating from 1883 and inspired by birds stealing strawberries from the garden. The sample is a topsy-turvy hand warmer the idea can be found here
July and the honeysuckle is out in the hedgerows and this month’s William Morris design is appropriately Honeysuckle first printed in 1876. A five skein fade from a burnt orange splashed peach through to a cool moss. The sample is a simple Vanilla Sock.
June’s colours are inspired by the design Mary Isobel, released by Morris & Co circa 1890 and designed for them by John Henry Dearle. The socks are Mix It Up socks by This Handmade Life.
