FAQs
What makes the 'double-face' construction special?
The double-face construction means the socks have two distinct layers knitted together. The outer layer is premium merino wool for warmth and heat retention, while the inner layer is soft, undyed organic cotton with a high-pile finish for cushioning and comfort.
Are these socks suitable for very cold weather?
Yes, the combination of merino wool exterior and high-pile cotton interior is designed for excellent warmth and insulation, making them ideal for cold-weather dressing.
How do I know which size to get?
Refer to the sizing guide provided: Small corresponds to UK sizes 3–6, Medium to UK 7–9, and Large to UK 10–12. It's recommended to try them on if possible, as fit can vary.
Can I machine wash these socks?
Yes, you can machine wash them on a gentle cycle with cold water and a mild detergent. However, hand washing is often recommended for best results and longevity of the wool fibers.
What is the material composition?
The material composition is approximately 85% cotton, 15% wool, 4% polyester, and 1% polyurethane.
Why is the cotton interior undyed?
The interior is undyed to provide the softest, most natural feel against the skin, reducing potential irritation and highlighting the natural color of the organic cotton.
Are these socks suitable for everyday wear, not just cold weather?
While optimized for cold weather, the breathable nature of the cotton and wool blend can make them comfortable for everyday wear in cooler seasons. For very warm conditions, you might find them too insulating.
Troubleshooting
Socks feel itchy or rough
Ensure you are following the recommended washing instructions. Use a wool-specific detergent. The organic cotton interior should mitigate most roughness, but initial wears might feel different from synthetic blends.
Socks lose shape after washing
Avoid machine drying and high heat. Always lay flat to air dry. Gently reshape the socks while they are still damp.
Reduced warmth over time
Check for excessive wear or damage to the merino wool exterior. Ensure they are not being washed with harsh chemicals or fabrics that could degrade the wool fibers.
