WOOL & ALPACA LEG WARMERS – MUSTARD TANG (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)
Mustard Tang is a warm golden ochre, dyed with organic buckthorn bark for a cheerful, glowing yellow. With light exposure and time, this colour naturally deepens to a soft yellow orange hue — a beautiful, gentle evolution typical of natural dyes. Each pair is dyed in small batches in our Co. Clare studio using rain-harvested water and low-impact processes.
Note: Naturally dyed Leg Warmers are slightly snugger than undyed versions. They’ll soften and ease with wear.
