The Gellatly Nut Farm, located on the west side of Okanagan Lake, is one of the oldest working nut farms in Canada. The farm is home to over 800 nut trees and shrubs, including the beloved heartnut, named for its production of a nut that looks, both inside and out, like a heart.
Heartnut socks are knit toe up, with a elegant heartnut inspired cable across the top, and an afterthought heel. The simple cable repeat is worked every four rows, making this a perfect project to learn cables, or to learn cabling without a cable needle!
