Umbra socks are a little-sister design to the Umbra Top and feature the same brioche stockinette stitch pattern, creating a fishnet/mesh fabric. The pair uses less than 50 g of fingering-weight yarn, so it’s a perfect stash buster — and a quick, playful accessory to add a bit of fun to your outfit.
