Frequently Asked Questions

1. How do I measure my feet?

For your foot circumference, measure around your foot at the point where your arch JUST starts to slope upward (sort of in between the arch and the ball of the foot). Don't measure around the widest part of the foot as this often gives a size that is too large for the remainder of the foot - trust in the natural give of knit socks to make the fit perfect!

Lay the tape measure flat on the floor. Stand on or next to the tape measure and note the length of your foot from heel to tips of toes.

It also helps to know your shoe size for reference purposes.

2. What are the types of yarns used for socks? Most of the yarn I use is wool, though, depending on the yarn creator, it may have touches of nylon, silk, bamboo, wood fibers, or other little luxuries that mesh together to make a delightfully comfy sock. Try to aim for a fingering or DK/Sport weight yarn, though worsted weight creates a fabulous sock like slippers.

3. How quickly can I expect my custom order? First, it depends on where you are on the wait list (based on the time you purchased and the number of spots available a month). I block 7 days for each pair of customs socks, simply because I have a family with two small children and the variables of my day change constantly. However, I pride myself on the “speed’ with which I can complete socks and I average about 4 to 5 days from start to finish. I will post a monthly wait list so you can see when your order is coming up.

4. Why should I buy hand knit socks over the packs of white commercial socks at Wal-Mart? Yes… those bland white socks do make good athletic wear, but they are missing some vital components:

They do not wrap your feet in the luxury they deserve

They are not lovingly handcrafted by a mama at home who carefully and happily knits each stitch together in a symphony of fiber ecstasy

They are boring in their plainness. Not at all like the inspiring surprise of yarn that has been hand-dyed
