MELITTA Socken
Introducing the MELITTA socks – a perfect blend of simplicity and style, designed to be your go-to accessory for any occasion! These classic socks feature a timeless rib pattern, ensuring a comfortable fit whether you prefer them short for a sporty look with sneakers, or long for a laid-back vibe with casual boots. The name MELITTA is inspired by the exclusive yarn created specifically for these socks, which is derived from the ‘Frauen Berlins' series (Women of Berlin). Each skein is hand-dyed by 'Das Mondschaf' in stunning coffee-inspired shades, showcasing a lively color palette that adds a unique touch to your wardrobe. Given the vibrant hues of MELITTA, we opted for a simple rib pattern that enhances the beauty of the yarn while offering comfort and versatility.
