Marianne Wakerlin, the Socklady, is the founder and owner of Solmate Socks. The company is named after her mom, Sunny, who taught Marianne how to knit when she was nine years old. Marianne continued a life long enthusiasm for knitting, but it wasn't until she started knitting socks that her real passion was born.

Through the years Marianne knitted over one hundred pairs of socks for family and friends. She then decided to turn her hobby into a business and in the year 2000 Solmate Socks was born. Her colorful and complex patterns are made in the USA at a family owned knitting mill, hand finished and then "mismatched with care."

Socks are available in sizes for infants, kids, women, and men.
