These socks have been dip-dyed in deep pinky red and sprinkled with warm hues to mimic all the colors of the human heart. I mean, not according to Grey's anatomy but definitely according to my imagination. Thin ribbed cotton dress sock, great for everyday wear and all occasions. 87% cotton, 13% spandex. One size fits most adult women, tweens, and teens. Hand-dyed in Asbury Park. There will be some variations in each pair due to the hand-dye process. Every pair is packaged with a unique magical message on the tag for inspired giving and receiving.
From Liz: While exploring artists whose work I'd want to carry at Three Bird Layne, I came across Merle Works, specifically a video of the artist creating her wares in her studio and explaining the story behind why she began to create this line of work. Her work is infused with what I most love about being an artist - the joy found in the process. As I unpacked each bag, tea towel, and pair of socks in my first order with Merle Works, I could feel that joy through the colors and care brought to each item. Plus each tag includes a little poem/magic message from the artist.
More about the artist: Dallas Hlatky founded Merle Works while parachuting out of life as normal. It was invented as a personal salve for an anxious time, and built to be a reliable, renewable source of joy for all who find it. It nurtures human connection, a love of language and color, and a spirit that anything can happen. It makes for inspired, intentional giving and receiving. Dallas says, "All the goods are hand-dyed by me. I source all the products and test drive them for quality. I don’t make anything I wouldn’t personally use. All the accompanying “magic messages” are written by me too, clipped and collaged at my kitchen table."
