V 15 Public Batch 6 Notes:

V15 introduces a radical change to the Lichen series working off previous achievements in tectonic terry mapping. A suspended mesh-vent-island-system help to create natural vents all over the foot. The interior lining is a mossy chaos of wool strands, created by cutting and splicing yarns in the knitting process. A fleece like texture appears internally. The exterior pattern mimics an aged oak tree, with developing lichen and moss.

These socks have a shrinky-dink experimental construction, making them our lightest Lichen sock to date at 2.1oz. V15 packs up small and uses it's expanding mesh zone to stretch out and provide full foot coverage, while fitting multiple foot sizes equally.

Each sock has a slightly different color of bark yarn, and color varies slightly.

  • 70% Super Fine Merino Wool
