Gentle, soft and warm. These warmers are from "salvia", a brand run by popular designer Yurio Seki, known for their designs. They are knitted slowly using the traditional "slow knitting" method at the "Socks Workshop" in Gosen, Niigata. There are no elastic bands on either end, so they are comfortable to wear without feeling too tight. They are knitted large, then gently pressed to shrink them tightly. The generous amount of yarn supports each other, so they fit just right even without elastic bands. The soft cotton texture makes them so comfortable that you won't want to take them off once you put them on. The high-gauge fabric is knitted with ultra-fine yarn and is thin, so it's just the right thickness to wear with any outfit. You can wear them all day, even at home.
