The inspiration for the colours that make up our Manitoba Twin Sock Design is:
- Dark Red for the Red River settlement
- Azure for Lord Selkirk who founded the settlement
- Dark Green for the multicultural population
- Gold for the fields of wheat
- Green for the natural resources
- two single skeins hand dyed at the same time for matching socks (start at the same end of each skein)
- semi-tonal pattern repeats every 5 stripes
- 80% superwash Merino / 20% nylon blend
- approximately 50g + 50g / 200m + 200m
- fingering weight
- gently hand wash in cold water
- air dry
- may bleed
