WOOL & ALPACA LEG WARMERS – LIME BUTTER (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)
Lime Butter is a golden ochre with warmth and brightness — a cheerful, earthy shade created with chestnut tannin. Naturally dyed in small batches in our Co. Clare studio, each pair carries subtle tonal variation and a slightly firmer handle, characteristic of plant tannins on wool.
Hand-dyed using rain-harvested water and low-impact methods.
Note: Naturally dyed Leg Warmers are slightly snugger than undyed versions. They will ease and soften gently with wear.
