Organic Baby Socks

Hello to everyone.  I have discovered some beautiful certified 100% organic knitting yarn, that is just asking to be made into baby socks. 

Pale Sea Blue Baby Socks
This yarn is made from fine micron Australian Merino fleece, taken from sheep raised by organic growers who must use sustainable, low impact processes on their land and sheep, and cannot use any synthetic treatments.  No artificial chemical treatments may be used in the washing and processing of the wool, and it is dyed using low-impact metal free dyes.  It is even spun on machinery that has been cleaned to prevent non-organic fibre contamination.

Importantly, the wool comes from farms that do not practice mulesing.  This alone is enough reason for me to endorse the yarn.




Although the wool is not machine washable or moth proof, it has a natural, snugly, baby softness that is beautiful to work with, and to wear.

My baby socks will fit a 3 month old - foot length 8cm (3 1/4 inches) 

Sock Features - hand crafted, very soft and snuggly organic merino wool, no uncomfortable inside seams, snug but stretchy ankles for stay-on-ability, simple and practical design, some with cute stripes. 










On my Etsy shop, I have just listed a few pairs in red and green stripes - Christmas is not far away!   More colours coming soon.
