Shrimpy socks anyone?

Tofutsies_group

Helen is knitting socks with this wonderful wool!

50% superwash wool, 25% soysilk, 22.5% cotton, 2.5% chitin. Chitin is a protein found in crustacean shells: the wool is soooooooooo soft. I love the way I can knit with my favourite invertebrates!

It is a little painful on the purse (£12/100g ball) but one ball will knit a pair of socks (425m (463 yards)).
