Wool-Blend Leg Warmers for Ballet from Japan
These leg warmers are knitted from man-made fibers blended with 25% wool, providing warmth and flexibility for dancers during warm-ups. They cover from ankle to knee and are classified under HTS 6406.90.15.05 as parts of footwear made of textile materials with wool content, specifically as leg-warmers. The wool contributes to insulation without dominating the external surface.
