There is nothing more magical than walking into the darkest, often scariest looking part of the forest, and discovering the ground is covered in bright, happily growing toadstools. Charlotte of Stone Knits wanted to recreate this magic and wonder with a pair of socks to help keep our feet warm on forest walks this Autumn – meet the Magical Mycelium Socks!
Owing to her long-term love of mushrooms, Charlotte thought it would be fun for us to knit socks decorated in toadstools from cuff to toe, and we completely agree! They're the perfect match for our Exmoor Sock yarn.

It’s durable and bouncy, with great stitch definition and holds up incredibly well. We offer our Exmoor Sock in 50g skeins so that 3 skeins will make you two pairs of socks in most sizes!

Care Instructions
Care Instructions
We recommend that our yarns are gently washed before use as we don’t do any washing or conditioning after the yarns are spun and skeined. You’ll be amazed by how much the fibre blooms after a soak and it will certainly help you get a more accurate feel for gauge and character of the yarn over time.
Once your piece is finished, we recommend another hand wash before wet blocking the piece to the given dimensions. This will set all your stitches and guarantee that your garment looks its best.

Local Fibre
Our mill is situated in the heart of North Devon. As much as possible we use the fibre which is reared and sheared on this land, utilising the unique properties of each breed in our yarn and tops.
Unique Yarn & Tops
The hours of work and skill that go into producing one of our yarn and tops ranges is reflected in the dedication of a knitter, spinner or crocheter during the intricate journey from beginning to finished garment – both are a harmony of tradition and creativity.
Vintage Machines
Our Mill is one of only a handful of small-scale worsted spinning mills still operating in the UK. Many of our vintage machines were rescued from old, traditional mills before their closure. Keeping them going is a labour of love, but we reckon that the resulting woolly treats are well worth it!
