When my daughter Lily was four years old I made her some hand-knitted leg warmers to wear to her dance class. I used a gorgeous ocean blue colored handspun soft wool yarn from the At Home store on our town square in Fairfield, IA. Now Lily is almost 13 years old! Her little sisters Alexis and Sofia want to wear them... but we need another pair! So we went to the store to pick another color. Alexis said she wanted the same blue, but with RED stripes. So we chose a soft almost pinky red, along with more of the same gorgeous blue. Rosie, the owner of the store, showed the girls how to wind the yarn from a skein to a ball, so it is all ready to be knitted!
I cannot knit anything as wonderful as the fair-trade sweaters that we carry in our store, but I can aspire to! Click the picture to see our current offerings of fair-trade knits...
