      Here they are!

      MITTENS · GLOVES · SOCKS

      Hand knitted wool accessories are a luxury for you and your family, and the perfect answer to a welcome gift to a friend.

      For those you love very dearly . . . nothing but the best: Beehive Imported Yarns are tops in quality of texture—long life—superb colors, and have the added virtue of non-shrinkage found in Beehive Non-Shrink Sock Wool and Non-Shrink Moorland. Clear, simple directions are here in a range of sizes for your convenience. Don’t miss the full length wool stockings—they’re news, and practical to make.

      Be careful when washing wool accessories to use mild suds and tepid water. Squeeze the suds through the article—don’t rub. Rinse thoroughly. Dry on frames or forms.
