Knit a bit of history with the Eleanora Socks from Miriam Felton. The style and variety of textured stitch patterns on these socks are inspired by the socks found in the tomb of Eleanoro de Toledo, the wife of Cosimo I de’Medici, the Grand Duke of Tuscany. She was buried in 1562 after dying of the plague and her crimson silk socks are amazingly well preserved.
