An idiot’s guide to buying socks in Canberra.

Squeeeeal like a pig, Thumper.

that will explain why you carry a banjo!

all sizes thumper. There are even hot pink ones to match your mascara and suspenders, my friend.

For wool, i would say a trip out to Yass may be on your cards.

I’m going to have to buy some, especially as they have “big” sizes.

Thanks for the tip 🙂

nifty. I got some aussie wool socks at Paddy Pallin’s years ago, and every time you washed them they got softer and fluffier. Real “comfort socks” (and I’m allergic to wool).

Another reason to pop into Kingston markets (and there are many). The plants are damn good value too, compare the prices to those in nurseries, they are usually grown here locally and so are used to conditions. I got a bunch there years ago, and they are all going gangbusters.

seepi: maybe try cassidys at jammo

Talking of wool, does anyone know where you can buy balls of 100% wool in Canberra? Lincraft seems to only specialise in fluffy acrylic wool etc.

Darn good deal.

yep. depot markets. their site is down the bottom bit, past all the plants, hippies etc.

5 pairs for less than a lobster?

That’s some good sock buying!

I’ll be getting me some new socks. Bus Depot Markets, you say?

ant,

i got five pairs and had change from a 20.

How much?

yes mate. 11 – 14. they are the size i usually go for.

if you have yowie sized feet, are they available in sizes greater than 10 ?
