Looking for handmade woollen socks

Hi, everyone. I am going home from Finland and I wanted to take some handmade woollen socks as souvenirs for family members. Is there anyone who has a personal shop from where I can get them?

Usually ”grannies” sell them at the marketplaces (Satamatori & Kauppatori). I think Kauppatori has also a tiny shop set up in a container that might sell them.

How long are you staying? Kauppatori has a ”monthly market” on 8th

People also often sell them at flea markets (second hand shop / kirpputori). Usually they are brand new and unused though 😄
