Meet Ginger
The latest in the seemingly never-ending bevy of beauties sent our way by Biella.
She is tall and sophisticated…
ribbed like her little Angora sister Jaimee & nearly as soft.
She is 81% cashmere with enough nylon to help her keep her shape nicely.
She isn’t cheap and she isn’t shy. But don’t worry, if she isn’t your type, her taller sister Kimi and Kimi’s best friend Naomi are coming to town next week. Like most B.ellas these girls are from the USA, but they have a nice cousin arriving soon from Italy. A pretty little crochet cotton tight, she knows how to dress up in style…
Oh how I love fall in the world of socks!!!

We’ve yet to get any that we’ve ordered for some time, so for now we only have the leggings to offer ~:(

I hooked up with Kimi today and we hung out for awhile taking pictures.
She makes a rich & delicious espresso as well as a classic charcoal. In burgundy she is devine, though a little uptight at the top, regardless of the shade. A tad itchy but so warm; and I’m sure she’ll soften up with a nice wash or two. Naomi’s a colorful character, really not my type, but nearly everyone else who has seen her here raved at her beauty!

EG, I made a long comment about washing wool on your post, but my computer ate it, so I’ll concisely write here that:
Although heat will shrink wool right up, it’s also the movement of the fibers when wet that can cause wool to shrink. The hair has scales on it which lock with the scales on the other hairs. More movement = more locking scales = shrinking. So don’t scrub, twist, wring, agitate or aggravate your wool socks. Wet stretching might be counter productive, I’m not sure on that.
Best to soak and dry flat in cool water. I also read a run through the spin cycle is ok because the centrifugal force extracts water without making any of the fibers move. … & As Eva has said a little hair conditioner can soften it up. I hope that helps.

lol I was just thinking “hmmmm dry in cool water” sounds interesting. Very informative post! Eventhough I don’t have wool, I’m still glad Im more informed =)

I forgot to mention it when it first got published, but I wrote about your site in an article published last week.
