Semaphore Socks Yarn Kit
Semaphore Socks Yarn Kit
Modern geometry meets the ultimate, seamless comfort. 🧦✨
There is a unique kind of satisfaction that comes from a great sock project. They are portable, highly tactile, and the absolute perfect "take-anywhere" project to slide into your summer tote bag for park afternoons, road trips, or quiet mornings on the patio.
Designed by Meaghan Schmaltz for Ewe Ewe Yarns, the Semaphore Socks are a stunning celebration of structural lines. Featuring a fun, modern knit-and-purl motif reminiscent of classic signal flags, this pattern gives your hands a rhythmic, engaging pattern to follow while letting your mind completely relax.
Worked from the top down using the Magic Loop method, these socks feature the clever Fleegle Heel—a total game-changer for sock knitters that offers a smooth, gusset-style construction with absolutely zero stitches to pick up. Read the blog post about these socks >

Why This Sock Kit is a Total Luxury:
-
The Fine Merino Difference: Forget scratchy, stiff traditional sock nylon blends. Fluffy Fingering is spun from fine 21-to-22 micron Australian merino wool, making these socks incredibly plush, springy, and blissfully soft against bare skin.
-
100% Real-Life Washable: Hand-washing socks is a hard no in our book. Our premium Italian-milled merino is completely machine washable and dryable. They pop right into the regular laundry and come out looking crisp and perfectly reshaped every single time.

Great little reminder to fix an OOPS! Great tool.
Great lovely useful scissors have been searching for this type for a lomg time!
I haven’t used them yet but they look helpful!
We love Ewe So Sporty for baby patterns and light weight sweaters!
I haven’t started this, but directions and hints ars straight forward. I need to select colors which is difficult but your wheel of yarn color selection. I particularly like vanilla, wheat and mocha but not sure if they will be compatible. More examples of colors that work well together pictured would help me make a purchase faster when you have multi color patterns.
I received the heart shaped stitch markers very quickly after my order was placed. They were as described and very cute. Lots of pretty colors. I am very happy with them.
This pattern is so easy to follow. I’m almost done…so cute!
The yarn knits beautifully. I enjoy it very much. I hope to knit many more projects.
The perfect project to start myself knitting again. I love the feel of the yarn and am looking forward to a finished project. Choosing a color took awhile but as I’m knitting, I’m thinking I may need another color(s) and what great gifts these can be.
The yarn has a great feel and works up very well.
This is the easiest and most gratifying one could make for a new baby. Suggest using a blended yarn like cotton and merino wool or a quality yarn that is acrylic. I always slip the first stitch each row to give it a nice selvedge trim. Hint Hint.
