Autumn Fade Socks
Embrace the changing of seasons. Autumn Fade starts with the green leaves of summer which gradually lose their leaves to the bare branches of winter. The Autumn Fade socks are made with 2 gorgeous autumnal colours that are striped together to fade from one to another. Giddy Aunt Yarns have created these colours especially for The Seasons Sock Club.
