Bonne already sent me an email -- after this mornings post -- about taking a tour of the Fox River sock factory.
I cannot believe I didn't do this sooner -- but here's the actual Fox River Mills Website
It's a GREAT website -- with information about finding a store in your own area -- OR ONLINE ORDERING. And their prices are excellent, with free shipping if you order more than $50.
I wish I'd gone there sooner. DUH. But I didn't realize until the socks came what the name of the company was...
Rita's Sew Fun -- a sporadic, random blog about nothing in particular.
My Mother made some of these on the farm in Iowa years ago. Now I'm in Washington state and great socks still make excellent gifts too. Would you believe in finding a store, one is near the town of McKenna on our highway under a 100# away.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to buy socks even if not making monkeys. The website also shows all the sewing directions and details including an elephant toy.
