These socks are made from pure virgin wool sourced from Xalda sheep. Hand-knitted wool socks —known as calcetos in Asturian— have long been part of traditional Asturian attire, and they remain one of the few garments that have endured to the present day. While traditionally they were monochrome, usually white or black, more recent designs have introduced a variety of patterns and colors. In this case, the socks are made from undyed raw wool, and by combining naturally colored wool, decorative motifs are also created.
