Soft, warm wool blend socks from Sweet William Designs, with a little embroidered greenhouse on a gentle taupe background. They are a charming nod to anyone who is happiest pottering among their seedlings and tomato plants.

The yarn is warm but breathable, so they are comfortable all year round, whether you are out on the allotment or curled up indoors. A lovely stocking filler for gardeners, and part of a collection that also includes carrot and trowel designs.
