AVFKW x Annie Rowden - Pollen Socks Bundle

"This sweet pair of Pollen socks are a wonderful marriage between yarn, natural colour and stitch pattern. A gentle texture of 2-stitch cables compliment the slightly nubby character of the true American yarn - Flock. The afterthought heel construction makes a point to not interrupt the gradient of the yarn, which is built from the natural fleece colours.

Flecks of colour are introduced from Coreopsis petals which brings all the textures together. The heel and toe are reinforced by a strand of strong silk yarn. This silk is naturally dyed in a contrasting colour to add a little marling and a little shimmer to those places needing some extra love and strength." - Annie

When working with yarn dyed with indigo, it is common and natural for the blue dye to rub off on one’s hands while sewing. This is called crocking. Although the goods have been washed, it takes pressured contact to release the extra indigo dye. Your handwork is part of the indigo dyeing process. The blue dye can be removed with hot water and soap. From working closely with indigo dyed materials through the making process, typically, the excess dye has been removed, and the crocking will cease.
