Lahauli Patterned Wool Socks

Lahaul valley, Himachal Pradesh

Calf-length socks knitted in the geometric colourwork Lahaul is known for, bands of diamonds and zigzags in contrasting wool running around the ankle and leg. The knitting is done in the round, so there are no seams to rub. Local sheep wool makes them thick underfoot, good for cold floors, boots, and long winters.

Knitted in the round on fine needles, carrying two or three colours of yarn at once to build the geometric bands row by row.

Buying handmade keeps a craft in work. That is the whole model — no middle story.
