The Original Rockford Red Heel
Monkey Socks, used by crafters
for decades, are now available
in two new colors:
BLUE
and
PINK!
The old-fashioned, handcrafted sock monkey dolls made
with Original Rockford Red Heel® socks from Fox
River Mills have become a favorite piece of "Americana"
over the years. Intended and worn even today as
work socks, mothers in the early
1900's fashioned these Rockford socks into sock monkeys
for their children. Clever crafters have been
making Sock Monkeys
and other animal sock dolls ever since. In 1890,
Nelson Knitting began manufacturing these
Red Heeled socks. Fox River Mills purchased
Nelson Knitting in 1992. Today, the
instructions for making these dolls are
still included in each package of authentic
Red Heel Monkey socks. Crafters have
been lovingly making Sock Monkeys for
generations.
