MixMethodsSocks

I designed and knit a pair of fair isle style woollen socks. These are thank you gift for a hunter that brings moose bones for our dogs. In Finland woollen socks are always considered as a very special gift. if you ever receive a pair be grateful.

For this pair I used plain and plant dyed AAW (50% our own ethic produced arctic angora wool, 40% ethic produced FinnSheep wool, 10% nylon) (100g = 238m) and Novita's 7 Veljestä (75 % wool, 25% polyamide) (100g = 200m) yarn. Novita's yarn is the brown one in foot part and a bit in the leg part. 

There are three shades of AAW. The light one is the natural shade. Pale yellow I dyed by the fresh nettle roots and the yellow one by the dried hop cones.
