AAW LegWarmers No4

 

I designed, plant dyed and knit a new pair or AAW legwarmers. The yarn is AAW pale fog blue (40% our own ethic produced arctic angora wool, 40% FinnSheep wool, 10% arctic dog wool, 10% nylon) (100g = 238m). I used plant dyes tea, weld (reseda) and cochineal to create the shades of brown, yellow and pink. It is a very simple traditional Fair Isle style design but full play with the shades. For this design it is easy to use your loose end yarns!
