You're invited on an enchanting knitting adventure deep into the heart of Moominvalley, which will capture your heart and spark your creativity.

The 'Dancing in the Rain' socks transports them to a playful and carefree moment in Moominvalley;
'Happy Sniff' socks capture Sniff's contentment and joy;
'The Moomin House' design invites knitters into the cozy embrace of the Moomin household itself: agreeable Moomintroll, pensive Moominpappa, calm, caring Moominmamma, timid Sniff, and fearless Little My;
When it's time to unwind, let the 'Zzzz... Time for a Snooze' pattern lull you into a state of tranquillity!
Whether you're curled up with a well-loved copy of Finn Family Moomintroll, or exploring the great wide world, these socks will keep you and your family cozy and warm.
