Stance Socks Plane Minnie Crew Blue

Pale mint and black, printed edge to edge with a halftone comic graphic — and finished with a pink toe stripe instead of Stance's usual blue.

This is one of Stance's older women's crews and it is nothing like the chunky cotton ones. The knit is fine and very stretchy — only 17% cotton, with 20% of the yarn given over to elastane and elastic — so it pulls on snug and sits close rather than bulking out a shoe. The print runs the whole length of the leg in washed-out mint over black, with checkerboard blocks and fragments of lettering, and the toe and heel are solid black.

• Fine, close-fitting knit — the high stretch content makes this a thin sock that grips the foot, not a cushioned everyday crew
• All-over print — the graphic covers the full leg rather than sitting as a motif on the ankle
• Pink toe stripe — a departure from the blue stripe Stance put on almost everything else

Specification

Questions we get asked

Are these thick or thin?
Thin. With only 17% cotton and a fifth of the yarn being stretch fibre, this is a fine, close-fitting sock rather than a cushioned one. If you want something padded, the cotton crews are the better choice.

Why is it called Blue when it looks mint?
Blue is Stance's name for the colourway. On the sock it reads as a pale washed mint against black. We have the pair in our hands — that is what it looks like.

Which size am I?
We have Medium, which is UK 6–8.5 (EU 38–42). Straight off the sock's own swing tag.

Will the print wear off?
It is worked into the knit rather than printed on the surface, so there is nothing to peel. The tag says do not tumble dry, which is the main thing to follow.

Is this an old style?
Yes. Stance discontinued it some time ago and this is the last of what we have — two pairs, in Medium only.
