Return of the Lion
“Wrong will be right, when Aslan comes in sight,
At the sound of his roar, sorrows will be no more,
When he bares his teeth, winter meets its death,
And when he shakes his mane, we shall have spring again.”
- The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, by C. S. Lewis
Aslan is the Great Lion who protects the world of Narnia and stands for what is good and true. These socks embody his regal spirit, with columns of ribbing and cables. Mohair is held with the working yarn for the cuff, heel, and toe for durability, warmth, and a halo reminiscent of a lion’s mane.Choose a golden brown for your own Lionhearted pair, or whatever color makes you feel fierce and strong.
