Copper Lode Socks are worked toe-up using a Turkish cast on, with a reverse heel flap and gusset for a comfortable, traditional fit.
A simple Gansey-inspired texture runs through the sock, adding quiet interest while remaining practical and timeless.
 
The soft pale pink–plum colourway, and Donegal neps evoke the copper-rich seams that run beneath the Cornish landscape and coastline — mineral veins hidden in the rock, shaped by time and labour. These socks are a gentle nod to Cornwall’s mining heritage and working knitting traditions, designed for steady, satisfying knitting and everyday wear.
