Summer Sock Club 2026 - September Kit: Amber Sea Socks

Colour Options: Option 1 - Meet Me at Midnight/Bee Happy

 SEPTEMBER SUMMER SOCK CLUB - Amber Sea Socks

Designed by Baiba Jautaiķe


Each kit contains 1 skein each of the selected colour combo as well as the sock pattern. You will receive the pattern when it releases on the 15th of each month.

 

Our September sock is the Amber Sea sock by Baiba Jautaike! Baiba has knitted the shores of her homeland into these socks — they represent the dancing waves of the Baltic Sea with white crests and sandy beaches, rippled by the water. You can walk there for miles and miles gathering amber, wish-stones and pretty shells.

Knitting starts at the cuff where stripes ripple like the sea. The hidden illusion element emphasizes the wavy dynamic of this original stitch pattern. From the cuff to the very tips of the toes the socks are covered in a sand stitch pattern. Two techniques are combined including helical knitting and sequences set-up to spiral. This speckled stitch pattern seamlessly emerges by itself, with no interruptions or jogs. The solid colour at the bottom of the heel stands out like a rock on the beach.

In Stock Yarns:  We will pick and ship your in-stock yarn as soon as possible, within a few business days. Please note that if your order also includes dyed-to-order yarns you will need to allow up to 1 - 2 weeks for us to dye and ship your yarn.

Working with Hand Dyed Yarn:While we strive for consistency, due to the hand dye process variations may exist between (and with some colourways within) dye lots. Therefore it is important to order sufficient yarn for your project, and if a uniform result is preferred we suggest alternating skeins. We hope that you will value and appreciate the beautiful and unique creations of the hand dye process and are always happy to assist you in working with hand dyed yarns!
