The inspiration for the colours that make up our Quebec Twin Sock design is:
- Dark Blue for the St. Lawrence River and the thousands of lakes
- Green for the lush green landscapes
- Red for the passion of the people
- Gold for the crown on the lion in the coat of arms symbolizing power and prosperity
- White for the scroll on the coat of arms saying "Je me souviens" - I Remember
- two single skeins hand dyed at the same time for matching socks (start at the same end of each skein)
- semi-tonal pattern repeats every 5 stripes
- 80% superwash Merino / 20% nylon blend
- approximately 50g + 50g / 200m + 200m
- fingering weight
- gently hand wash in cold water
- air dry
- may bleed
