Three Months • Three Colourways • Endless Cosy Adventures
Welcome to the Shire Shenanigans Hobbit Sock Club, a three-month celebration of warmth, whimsy, and wool. Inspired by the gentle mischief and homely comforts of the Shire, this club is designed for makers who treasure slow living, soft socks, and stories woven into every stitch.
Across three months, you’ll receive three exclusive hand-dyed colourways, each crafted to capture a different moment in the hobbit world: the glow of a firelit burrow, the mossy quiet of a woodland path, the cheerful clutter of market day, the golden shimmer of a second breakfast. Every shade is rooted deeply in the earthy, comforting palette of hobbit life—rich greens, warm browns, soft golds, berry reds, pipe-smoke greys, and the little unexpected pops of colour that make the Shire feel truly alive.
All yarn in this club begins with our own low-carbon Welsh flock, raised on our smallholding with care, respect, and a commitment to no-kill shepherding. The wool never travels more than a few miles from field to finished skein, keeping the process gentle on the land and true to the simple, grounded values that hobbits themselves would be proud of. Each batch is then dyed slowly over our wood-fired burner, using a mix of natural and acid dyes to create depth, variation, and the kind of tonal detail that makes socks sing on the needles.
And of course, these colourways are perfect for your feet—those hobbit-style feet that deserve comfort, warmth, and a good dose of charm. The yarn is chosen specifically for sock making: durable enough for adventuring down country lanes, soft enough for pottering around the pantry, and magical enough to make even the simplest ribbing feel special. Every skein is full of character, squish, and story.
This club runs for three months, with one brand-new, club-exclusive colourway arriving at your door each time. No repeats, no re-releases—these shades will only ever appear in the Shire Shenanigans collection at least for the first year! Whether you knit each into a pair of socks, combine all three for a striped or marled masterpiece, or tuck them away for a rainy-day treat, you’ll be crafting with yarn that carries a sense of place, play, and adventure.
Spaces are intentionally very limited to keep the experience truly small-batch and personal. Each skein is dyed in tiny quantities, ensuring the kind of consistency, care, and charm that simply can’t be found in large-scale production. When you join this club, you’re stepping into a little circle of makers who share your love of folklore, comfort, and mindful craft.
So pull up a chair, pour a cup of something warm, and settle into the gentle joy of hobbit-inspired making. The Shire Shenanigans Hobbit Sock Club is an invitation to slow down, savour the season, and knit socks worthy of any well-loved hobbit hole—one colourway at a time.
