only available by special order

Hello and welcome to Maestro Socks!

 

As a conductor and co-founder of the PRISMA Festival & Academy, music has always been my life's passion. During the pandemic, I discovered a new love for wool and began spinning my own yarn. This journey led me to the Rampisham Hill Mill in Dorset, where I learned the art of spinning and sock knitting on vintage circular machines.

 

After finding one of these rare machines in Powell River, I mastered the craft of knitting high-quality wool socks. Just like a musical masterpiece, each pair of socks is crafted with care and attention to detail.

 

All Socks are handcrafted with comfortable, durable sock yarn. This yarn consists of 75% superwash virgin wool and 25% polyamide. Socks can be machine washed at 40°. If you have any concerns or suggestions, feel free to drop me a line at info@maestrosocks.ca.

Here are some pictures from Rampisham Wool Mill, where I occasionally help owners David and Ruth with carding, spinning, and sheep herding. It's also where I learned to use a vintage sock knitting machine. Additionally, I’ve included some photos from my wool adventures.
