FAQs
Are these socks suitable for newborns?
Yes, the size 0-6 months is suitable for newborns and infants up to six months old. The soft merino wool is gentle on delicate newborn skin.
How do merino wool socks regulate temperature?
Merino wool fibers have a natural crimp that traps air, providing insulation when cold. They also wick moisture away from the skin and are breathable, helping to prevent overheating when warm.
Can I machine wash these socks?
Yes, you can machine wash them on a gentle wool cycle at a maximum of 30°C with a wool-specific detergent. Avoid bleach and tumble drying.
Will the cuff slide down?
The socks are designed with a wide, elasticated cuff specifically to prevent them from sliding down during wear, ensuring a secure fit for active babies.
What is the material composition?
The socks are knitted with a blend of 85% organic merino wool, 13% polyamide, and 2% elastane.
How often should I wash these socks?
Wash as needed. Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and can often be worn multiple times between washes if not visibly soiled. When washing, use gentle cycles and cold water.
Can these socks be worn in summer?
Yes, merino wool is excellent for year-round wear due to its breathability and temperature-regulating properties. It helps keep feet cool in warmer weather and warm in cooler weather.
Troubleshooting
Socks feel tight after washing
Merino wool can sometimes shrink slightly if washed incorrectly. Ensure you are using a cool wash cycle (max 30°C) and a wool detergent. Avoid high heat drying. If the socks are new, they may feel snug initially but should offer good elasticity.
Baby's skin seems irritated
While merino wool is known for its softness, individual sensitivities can occur. Ensure the socks are washed before the first wear. Check that the cuff is not too tight or digging into the skin. If irritation persists, discontinue use.
Socks lose elasticity over time
This can be due to improper washing or excessive wear. Always follow the gentle care instructions. Avoid harsh detergents or high spin cycles. Ensure they are dried flat to maintain shape.
