Knitted with three colored yarn (ligth yellow, pink and orange) in traditional Estonian fair-isle style. The yarns are hand died and 100% wool. Tightly knitted using 0-size needles and worsted weight yarn, they are perfect to block wind and wear in winter.
This pattern is an archaic one. It comes from Irboska area in Setomaa, nowadays part Pskov Oblast, Russia. Setos are an ethnic and linguistic minority living in an area covering South-East Estonia and West of Pskov Region in Russia. Setumaa will appeal to anybody interested in different cultures, religion and traditions - with its beautiful nature Setumaa is well worth a visit.
