Half Stockings
Towards the end of the 18thC the use of cut down half-stockings or socks under trousers becomes common in military wear. If you don't fancy cutting down a longer pair of stockings and hemming the top yourself (though this can be an economical way to get a length of knit tube for sleeves or mitts!) we offer ready made half length stockings, in our robust undyed 2/9 nm pure wool yarn with common heel and back seam.
Undyed yarns may be solid or slightly speckled depending on how the mill has blended the fleece for spinning. Typical examples shown. We can get some dyed shades of this yarn as well, please let me know if you'd like to discuss a coloured pair.
Made to order. The way our order book is currently working, we open the shop approximately once a quarter for new commissions and shut it again once we have as many orders as we think we can realistically make over the next three months. Please be aware that your order may fall anywhere into that timescale. We'll always aim to be as prompt as we can.
