Everything is knitted to order in batches, so a colourway that sells out comes back on a date we print on the card rather than a vague promise.

Two hands working a speckled pink and green yarn on knitting needles in the Rickrack workshop

Knitted here,two floors up.

Two flatbeds, 1974

Both machines came out of a closed mill in Mataró and were rebuilt over one very long winter. They are slow — eleven minutes a sock — which is why the run is twelve pairs and not two hundred. It also means a dropped stitch gets caught by a person, not a camera.

Where the colour comes from

Combed Catalan cotton and a Spanish merino, dyed in small lots by a family dyehouse in Olot. Lot to lot the pinks shift a shade or two. We photograph each batch rather than retouching it back to the last one, so what you see is the yarn currently on the shelf.

Legs in patterned tights resting on a mustard velvet sofa in daylight

Every photograph on this site was taken in the flat above the workshop, on whoever was around that afternoon. No studio, no retouching the ribbing straight, no borrowing a stock photo of somebody else's socks.

What came backin the post.

Four of the notes customers wrote on the card that comes with every order. Drag the row, or step through it with the pair of controls underneath.

★★★★★

“I bought the rainbow pair as a joke for my brother and then immediately bought three for myself. Two winters in and the heel has not thinned.”

“Ordered a 41 on the chart, got a 41 that actually fits a 41. The cuff holds up all day on a tiled floor, which is the whole test for me.”

★★★★☆

“The pink is louder in person than on screen, which I had been warned about on the card. I kept them. One star off because I wanted two pairs and there was one.”

“Sent the wrong size back on a Tuesday, had the right one on the Friday, nobody asked me to justify myself. The darning thread in the envelope is a nice touch.”
