The inspiration for the colours that make up our Nova Scotia Twin Sock design is:
- Blue for sea and the sky
- Green for the evergreen and deciduous trees
- White for the surf breaking on the rock
- Gold for the Nova Scotian charter
- Red for the lion on the crest
- 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 6 stripes
- 80% superwash Merino / 20% nylon blend
- approximately 50g + 50g / 200m + 200m
- fingering weight
- gently hand wash in cold water
- air dry
- may bleed
