A pair of knee-high socks knitted in mustard yellow Shetland wool with contrasting brown reinforcement at the heel and toe areas. The socks feature a ribbed construction throughout the leg portion, creating vertical texture lines that provide stretch and fit. The brown sections appear to be a denser knit for durability in high-wear areas. The leg extends to approximately knee height with a consistent gauge ribbing. The construction shows traditional British hosiery techniques, with the heel turned in a classic method and the toe shaped with decreasing stitches. The Shetland wool gives the socks a slightly rustic texture typical of traditional Scottish island wool processing.
