WOOL & ALPACA LEG WARMERS – BEETROOT BRANDY (NATURALLY DYED)
65 % sheep wool | 35 % alpaca wool
Length: 50 cm | One size fits most
Cuff: Light elastic thread in the cuff only (gentle stay-up hold)
Beetroot Brandy is a bold, beetroot-toned burgundy. Each pair is small-batch dyed in our Co. Clare studio using cochineal — an ancient red dye that produces vibrant pinks, violets, purples and rich red tones. These Leg Warmers carry depth, warmth and the subtle beauty of natural variation.
Note: Cochineal is an animal-derived dye (a traditional insect dye). These Leg Warmers might not be suitable for vegans.
Naturally dyed Leg Warmers are slightly snugger than undyed versions. They’ll soften and stretch with wear.
