Welcome Phil! Your socks look warm and cozy and I'm hoping to win a pair!

Hello Phil and wanted to say those are beautiful socks! I love knitting but haven’t graduated to socks yet! Wool is the best fiber for socks in my
Opinion- as they wic away moisture!
Have a great day! 😍

Welcome to the forum! Those socks look so cozy and warm.

Hi Phil! I'm glad you're here and welcome to Permies!

Hi Phil,

Welcome to Permies.

I read the description page and loved this sentence:

"Norsewear is a New Zealand clothing company built on a

close-knit community

.

Looking forward to my feet being embraced by a pair of these close-knit socks.

Thank you.

Welcome, Phil! I'm looking forward to being to know your company and socks!

Those sox look wonderful!  Welcome to Permies!

Hi Phil. Welcome to Permies!

Hello and Welcome!

Those look like cosy socks!  New Zealand grows some of the best wool in the world.  I would say The best, but my sheep are listening and they get jealous.  

Thanks for hanging out with us this week.

Hello and welcome! Since r ranson's sheep will get jealous, I'll have to protect them by getting the socks instead!

To be honest, I wear wool socks all winter and well into spring because of our damp climate and my tendency to always have cold feet. I recommend them to anyone who hasn't tried them. I admit, due to my lack of both sheep and knitting skills, I buy commercial ones. r ranson does have *really* cute sheep - particularly those "jumping lambs" she posted.

WOW!  did you guys see these on their page?



cutest socks ever!

reminds me of the book Three Bags Full: A Sheep Detective Story Paperback by Leonie Swann.

Hi Phil!!! So nice for you to join us!

Welcome Phil Grant! I'm a HUGE fan of wool socks! I hope your visit here this week is encouraging.

Hey Phil! I hope your time here treats you well!

Hi, Phil!

Your socks look like good ones for my husband.  Thanks for telling us about them!

(While I am a knitter and love to knit socks, my husband has big feet and won't wear the socks I've knitted for him because he doesn't want to wear them out, which is silly but not going to change.  So, I buy him machine-made wool socks.)

Welcome, Phil! You guys have some really cute prints and quality-looking products. Thanks for the giveaway

Welcome Phil, your socks look they would be great for those of us who have a 7-months-long winter.

Welcome to the community Phil, Your sock looks so comfortable.

Welcome to Permies! Those socks look amazing and I look forward to learning more about them!

Welcome Phil!

These seem like they would invaluable here in the cold Vermont winters.

Hello and welcome to permies! I love the fact you have a pink and purple sock option! =c) They would be great to have up here in northern maine, last year we got 14.5 feet. Of snow. This year only about 5 to 6 but lows of -45 and man the wind!   How has the winter been to you?

Welcome Phil. I do knit wool socks myself. Those are thick socks. I like very fine wool socks too, so fine it's impossible to knit them by hand ... like the New Zealand wool socks I see here you can offer.

Welcome Phil. Sure could use a pair of new socks for the cold weather we’rr Still having in Michigan!

Please keep all welcome posts in this thread!

Horrible things just happened to this thread when I tried to merge in welcome posts that happened elsewhere in the forum. The posts are now all out of order. Please, please, PLEASE keep welcome posts in here. Trying to win by making a thread that is just a "Hi Phil, I want to win!", will probably get that thread deleted. Because, merging those posts into this thread is not easy! And, as we can see today, it can turn out horribly.

The rest of the Animal Fibers forum is a great place to ask questions, start discussions, join in discussions, share fibre projects, etc. Those are the kind of posts that count toward winning. I'm sorry if that was not made clearer.

Thank you so much for understanding!

Oh my goodness!  Wool sock fetish here so a warm welcome Phil!

Hey Phil. . . Welcome! I LOVE wool socks, and can’t wait to bless my feet w/ a pair of yours!

Hey Phil! Can’t wait to wear a pair of your socks on my feet while hiking / gardening or taking care of little people! Wool socks are a favorite of mine due to their amazing longevity and moisture wicking potential!

Hi Phil, glad you're part of this movement.
