Sorry, this item has sold.

‘Votes For Women' speckled sock gradient mini skein set. Great for colourwork or amigurimi. Or for making socks to keep the feet of modern day Feminists warm!

Inspired by the official colours of the W.S.P.U. and Suffrage jewellery and medals, this set of 8 speckled mini skeins changes subtly from Amethyst purple all the way through to Emerald green and is intended as a respectful tribute to the women of the W.S.P.U. in this, the centenary year of the Representation of the People Act (1918) which first gave the vote to some women.

The colour scheme, created in 1908 by Emmeline Pethick-Lawrence is Purple for Dignity, White for Purity and Green for Hope. It is probably no coincidence that the purpose of the Suffragette movement, ie. to 'Give Women Votes', also corresponds to the colours Green, White & Violet.

75% merino wool, 25% nylon. 8 x 10g skeins of 42.5 m (approx) each, totalling 340m (approx) in total.

Hand dyed with acid dye for colourfastness.

The 8 colours from the 'Votes For Women' set are also available in other yarn bases, https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/FHarbourYarn?search_query=votes+for+women

We do custom requests:
Please note that custom requests, such as having several skeins of just one of these colours, having the set on a different base yarn or in larger quantities are easily achieved with no 'custom' surcharge added to the price. I am happy to oblige if I can, just message me and i'll quote you a cost and time scale.

To fulfil your order, you must provide me with certain information (which you authorised Etsy to provide to me), such as your name, email address, postal address, payment information, and the details of the product that you’re ordering. You may also choose to provide me with additional personal information (for a custom order for example), if you contact me directly.

I rely on a number of legal bases to collect, use, and share your information, including:

- as needed to provide my services, such as when I use your information to fulfil your order, to settle disputes, or to provide customer support;

-= if necessary to comply with a legal obligation or court order or in connection with a legal claim, such as retaining information about your purchases if required by tax law; and
- as necessary for the purpose of my legitimate interests, if those legitimate interests are not overridden by your rights or interests, such as 1) providing and improving my services. I use your information to provide the services you requested and in my legitimate interest to improve my services; and 2) Compliance with the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use. I use your information as necessary to comply with my obligations under the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use.

Service providers: I engage certain trusted third parties to perform functions and provide services to my shop, such as delivery companies. I will share your personal information with these third parties, but only to the extent necessary to perform these services.

Business transfers: If I sell or merge my business, I may disclose your information as part of that transaction, only to the extent permitted by law.

Compliance with laws: I may collect, use, retain, and share your information if I have a good faith belief that it is reasonably necessary to: (a) respond to legal process or to government requests; (b) enforce my agreements, terms and policies; (c) prevent, investigate, and address fraud and other illegal activity, security, or technical issues; or (d) protect the rights, property, and safety of my customers, or others.

I generally keep your data for the following time period: 4 years.

This has to be my favorite. I love anything speckled and the theme she based it on, made it a must have! Please make more speckled yarn!


Lovely yarn in great colours. Very fast despatch. Would highly recommend.


Lovely yarn, I think this will become a shawl.
