🍵 hollyDear #knitting lazy web: does anyone know of any patterns for socks with thick bottoms? I bought some socks in Scotland that are thick, warm, and squooshy on the bottom and they are my new best friends. I want to make more! Searching on ravelry was not productive, but it's a difficult thing to search for. I can't figure out a way to do it on my own without knitting flat and seaming.
Dena@holly a helpful concept for this is thrumming: twisting bits of soft-soft roving into the knit structure. The additional layer of wool makes for extra-warm, extra-squishy, extra-soft socks. Or mittens.
Here's a FAQ about them from Stephanie Pearl-McPhee: https://www.yarnharlot.ca/blog/thrumfaq.html where you can see how it's done in mittens.
I did it in socks. It worked nicely (and there are patterns on Ravelry if you use it.)
