Knit Kit: Zig Zag Cosy Socks

Introducing the Zig Zag Cosy Socks Knitting Kit, part of the Ballerina Farm & HERD collboration.

"Ballerina Farm warmly welcomes HERD, the British wool house founded by Ruth Alice Rands. We raise cows in the mountains of Utah. HERD spins yarn from Bluefaced Leicester sheep in the hills of northern England. While we may be an ocean apart, we share a vision of how we can honor the whole animal, keep products and processes close to the land, and care for every hand along the way."

Included in the kit is a printed pattern in an A6 booklet and yarn colour shades of your choice.
