These socks are crafted on a restored antique Gearhart circular sock knitting machine, a piece of early 20th-century ingenuity once used to knit socks for soldiers in World War I. Each stitch is formed as the hand-crank turns, producing a smooth, seamless tube of fabric with a distinct old-world charm. The machine’s rhythmic clatter and polished steel needles transform soft yarn into durable, cozy socks that echo the craftsmanship of a bygone era.
No two pairs are exactly alike—slight variations in tension and texture give each sock character and authenticity. The result is a pair of socks that are not only warm and comfortable but also carry the legacy of traditional knitting technology, bridging history with modern wear.
This order was for 6 pairs of short socks and one pair of crew socks.
