Pink Angora!
As usual, I procastinated about placing this order, they are costly and they have many choices, so narrowing it down to an affordable batch is not an easy task.
This week we got the first half of the batch, a bit late for the holidays but in plenty of time to warm chilly winter toes~
These are made by the fine folks in the Orkney Islands with the fur shorn from their happy fluffy bunnies, knitted on a Passap with no elastic or toe seams. They cost more but are totally worth it if you want to spoil your toes!
I slept in my pair last night, ivory over the knees that someone returned due to a loose link in the ribbing, I don’t even notice it and they are sooo comfy & (((warm)))
We’ll have even more colors next month, for now, we have this lovely pink in an anklet and a knee high, the OTK’s are back in blackberry (my personal fav Orkney Angora shade) & chocolate brown, the long leg warmers are also in chocolate & fawn.
And the best part is that I brought in two foot sizes this time! Their small 4-7 actually fots up to about a womans 9 and the medium 8-11 should fit sizes 9-12 ~:)

Angora bugged me for ages and I really don’t care for it around my face, but on my feet I love it ~xoxo~

yummy angora! I don’t like it for gloves (sheds hairs!!!), but for socks, wonderful! :)

I’ve been waiting for the ones in blackberry! I hope they’ll still be in when I have the money. I love them for making socks in smaller sizes.

They look super comfy. I’m always afraid to buy them cuz my mom’s allergic to angora so I’m afraid I am too. I have some angora gloves and I always think I get itchy and such when I wear them so I try to keep them away from my face. I think it might be all in my head though.
