WOOL & ALPACA LEG WARMERS – PICKLED SPROUT (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)
Pickled Sprout is a lively lime green with earthy undertones. Each pair is small-batch dyed in our Co. Clare studio using weld and iron acetate, producing a green that feels both fresh and grounded.
Available in a naturally mottled tone or plain green, reflecting the depth and movement of hand-dyed wool.
Note: Naturally dyed Leg Warmers are slightly snugger than undyed versions. They will relax gently with wear.
