Knitted with two colored yarn (pink and off-white) in traditional Estonian fair-isle style. The pink yarn is hand dyed, the off-white is natural sheep color, both 100% wool from Estonia. Tightly knitted using 0-size needles and DK-weight yarn, they are perfect to block wind and wear in winter.
This pattern is a widely used 8-corner star, which is an ancient powerful protective motif. That specific retailer pattern was picked to Estonian national Museum from Lobodka Village in Setomaa.
Lacy cuffs are like a bracelet decorating your hand.
Women's size, also available for custom order in any sizes.
