Booklet Kit N°3, “3 kinds of socks for everyday use with vegetable-dyed wool”.
Our original knitting pattern kit for socks with vegetable-dyed wool is now available in our e-shop!
Organic is the groundswell that’s riding in Paris right now.
More than a commitment to a better quality product, and rich in sensations, this Parisian “Bio” (“Organic”) spirit is urban and modern, sophisticated and very fashionable. We want to reflect this trend in our knitting creations, by offering functional products, adapted to an urban and elegant, in short, Parisian lifestyle.
That’s why we have just released this “Bookletkit N°3” which will detail how to knit these socks. You’ll even find 3 different types of patterns, 3 models of comfortable socks that can be worn in the city.
These patterns are sold with our “PARIS NATURE” wool, a super washed baby merino wool, 100% natural and made in France, elaborated and produced by Porcs-épics Tricoteur. This wool has been hand-dyed by the marvellous Parisian artisanal brand “WHOLE“, with vegetable, natural products (plant extracts, minerals).
