  KitKnit :: Fur for Funds :: SOLD OUT Cheingora-Merino Socks by Belfast Mini-Mill

    SOLD OUT Cheingora-Merino Socks by Belfast Mini-Mill
SOLD OUT Cheingora-Merino Socks by Belfast Mini-Mill 
We discovered another gem in the treasures of Canadian yarntisans.

Belfast Mini Mills in Prince Edward Island specializes in processing exotic animal fibers, such as alpaca, angora rabbit, qiviut, bison and llama for knitting, spinning and weaving. They also use their own yarns to create unique items.

We were absolutely delighted to receive Belfast's donation of FOUR pairs of Cheingora-Merino socks for the Fur for Funds project.

The socks are knit with a very fine, natural colour of yarn. The cuff is a 2 x 1 rib, body 3 x 1 rib and the comfy sole is stocking stitch. These socks are super soft and warm.

Samoyed's are laborious to brush because their coat is so dense and it is difficult to groom out the undercoat. That's what makes these socks particularly special; the dehaired, downiness of the Samoyed undercoat in these socks, could pass for cashmere. Google the micron count of Samoyed undercoat and compare.

Luxurious treat for your feet or gift for a pet loving friend. No knitting required.

NOTE: Offered by online AUCTION which closed on September, 30, 2009 at 11pm EST. To receive updates about future auctions, subscribe to the Fur for Funds NEWSletter.
