Bear socks

Bear. One of the main symbols of Siberia. The bear is called “Medved” in Russian. This word can be translated as: one who knows honey. Yes, he is a big fan of sweet berries and honey, but he is also by far the most powerful and fearsome wild beast of Siberia. They are the embodiment of all nature in one being. I appreciate and love these animals so much that I would like to hug them the way a mother hugs her children. There are a lot of bears in the places where I come from. This is very unlikely, but I have often imagined what would happen if I met a bear in the woods… Of course, this would be the most terrible event in my life. I would have sped off so fast that I would have jumped out of my clothes. So I sacrifice these balls of yarn and all our work so that this meeting will never happen. :) Oh spirits of the forest I ask you to accept this sacrifice and I thank you for giving me so much inspiration. Amen :)
The product was tested in Instagram, with my permanent group of testers. All works of my testers are placed (with their permission) on this page.
