Hello and welcome to my online store Russian Socks!
May I introduce myself? My name is Anzhela and I am from Kyrgyzstan. Together with my husband Ward, I have built our web store for Russian wool socks over the past eight years. I say Russian wool socks, but as you’ve probably already seen, by now we do much more than wool socks. But then again, you have to give the animal a name, after all. And my husband says I should call out Russian wool socks often, because that, in turn, is good for our findability in Google! 🙂
Greetings and love, Anzhela
