Wool Stockings - Designer Fashion Woollens Knitwear

Hand knitted stockings have been produced in Britain for countless centuries - and are still in demand from those who explore the great outdoors. They are a real luxury so why not spoil yourself... or a friend.

As detailed elsewhere in this website, a vibrant trade existed in the Yorkshire Dales hand knitting stockings for the urbanmasses in the growing towns and cities at the beginning of the Industrial and Agrarian revolutions several centuries ago.

 Farming and mining families in such as Swaledale, Wensleydale and Dentdale earned much needed income to supplement their meagre wages by producing hand-knit woollens stockings in their spare time.

It is still possible to become the proud owner of a comfortable pair of hand-knitted stockings today at one of the woollen craft workshops or outlets in these north Yorkshire Dales.
