This yarn was inspired by the amazing Giant Pacific Octopus.

Octopuses are known for their ability to camouflage by changing the colour and texture of their skin to blend in with their environment. I played with this idea when developing the colourway, trying to capture the idea of an octopus hiding in a kelp forest.

Originally part of our 2023 summer club, this colourway is designed to pair with the Pacidic Socks pattern (sold separately). One of the challenges in working with a camouflage-y yarn is that small knitterly details get hidden along with all the sea creatures. To prevent the pattern from being overwhelmed by the yarn, Andrea Rangel chose a bold, textured cable with eyelets to mimic an octopus's suckers. The reverse stockinette on the bottom of the foot continues the watery effect around the sock.

One 100g skein is all the yarn you need to make these socks.
