I love working with materials that are organic and not treated with chemicals. There’s nothing covering the beauty of the wool, nothing masking the true nature of the yarn. A bit rustic and wooly on the needles, the yarn knitted up is softer, full of depth. Long, ribbed leg warmers for a cold day.
organic leg warmers (CO 48 sts, knit 2×2 rib for approximately 21 inches, BO in rib)
yarn: Treliske Organic Merino in Brown Tweed, approximately 120 g
needles: 3.5 mm Brittany dpns
gauge: 5 spi in st st

What a beautiful, soothing color. Ironically, I just purchased some organic wool, too. I love the unique qualities that seem so much less mainstream in organic yarns.
