Fisherman's Wool

Here's a project I finished back at the end of November! I originally started these because I wanted some tall, cabled socks to wear in my boots. But partway through I changed my mind and they became woolly leg warmers (still perfect for in my boots!).

I wasn't sure how much I'd wear these, but I got them done around Thanksgiving time and since then I have worn them a ton! I love them!! I've found that leg warmers are a lot more versatile than I thought - with jeans, skirts, etc!
















( I especially love that they won't wear a hole in the heel like my other homemade socks, so I can be wearing them for a long time to come!)








They are made with Fishermen's Wool - 100% raw wool from a sheep! :) While some may find wool itchy, I love the feel of natural fibers and maybe I'm used to it, because once I'm wearing them I don't find them itchy, just SO WARM and cozy!!

Cute with short boots too!

I completely made up my own pattern, so I may or may not be able to repeat it from my scribbled notes... But I very rarely do something the same way twice anyway!
