| Summary: | torbay n Hand-knit from wool of home-grown sheep, carded and then spun into wool by hand (spun on a spinning wheel). Usually black and white standard pattern, some with thumb and one finger, some with just the thumb. These, with Torbay Socks, were in great demand years ago, and still are for woods wear, and nearly every store, big and small, sold them. (Probably called "Torbay" in St. John's only, as it was nearby, but much the same were made in other outports) DNE-cit JH 2/70 JH Used I and Sup Used I Used I mitt, torbay deal, torbay nag
