We spotted a pair of beautiful grey socks, and asked about them. Palmo, one of the artisans, who grew up in Lahaul, had knit them with local wool. We had seen similar socks in the village shops, but the motifs were knit in brightly coloured acrylic yarns. Palmo had used undyed grey and white wool instead, and they were beautiful and thick.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver time, as we worked on developing our wool yarns, we chose to make two kinds of socks -- our Boot Socks, knit with desi wool - more rustic, more durable and long lasting - and our Bed Socks, knit with Lahauli wool - luxuriously soft and cozy. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShop our Bed Socks Collection. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"accordion__text\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"accordion__group\"\u003e\n\u003ca class=\"accordion__label\" href=\"#\" data-mce-href=\"#\"\u003eFEATURES\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"accordion__text\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFibre: 100% wool (Desi), undyed\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned, Handspun and Handknit by Kullvi WHIMS artisans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"accordion__group\"\u003e\n\u003ca class=\"accordion__label\" href=\"#\" data-mce-href=\"#\"\u003eMEASUREMENTS \u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"accordion__text\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize 1 will fit shoe size 36-38 EU\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize 2 will fit shoe size 39-41 EU\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCalf Length: Approximately 9 inches (23 cms)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSocks may feel tight when stretching over the heel and upper leg for the first few wears, but will ease with wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSarah\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is 5'9\" (175 cm) tall, with a 15.75\" (40 cm) calf circumference and a size 41 EU shoe.
