Historical Fair Isle socks - inspiration in vintage hosiery

Tuesday, 27 November 2012

These hand-knitted socks were worn by British biologist and photographer, George Rayner, in Antarctica between 1927 and 1939 (I hope he took them off occasionally during that time). 

Image from Museum Victoria, Melbourne, Australia.

And what can be found now in Fair Isle style?
