FAQs
Are these socks suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, Wolford uses high-quality Merino wool known for its soft, non-itchy texture compared to traditional wool.
Can I put these in the dryer?
No, tumble drying will cause the wool fibers to shrink and lose their elasticity. Always air dry flat.
What does 200 denier mean?
Denier refers to the thickness of the fiber; 200 denier indicates a heavy, opaque weight ideal for maximum warmth and coverage.
Do these socks come in other colors?
Currently, this specific model is available in a versatile black color family.
How do I choose the right size?
The socks are sized by apparel standards. If you are between sizes, refer to the sizing guide or choose the larger size for a more relaxed fit.
Are these socks suitable for hiking?
While they provide warmth, they are designed as lifestyle and layering socks rather than technical hiking gear.
Troubleshooting
Visible pilling on the surface after use
Pilling is a natural characteristic of fine wool; use a fabric shaver or a sweater stone gently to remove surface fuzz.
Sock feels slightly loose after long-term wear
A cool wash cycle followed by air drying flat can often help the natural fibers contract and regain their original shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Wolford Merino Socks, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Use a gentle wool detergent. Hand wash in cool water is recommended to preserve fiber quality. If using a machine, select the 'Wool' or 'Delicate' cycle with a mesh laundry bag.
- Drying: Never tumble dry. Gently press excess water out with a towel—do not wring—and lay the socks flat on a drying rack away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Because they are wool, consider using cedar balls or lavender sachets if storing for extended periods to deter moths.
- Compatibility: These socks pair seamlessly with leather boots, ankle boots, and tailored trousers. Due to their 200 denier thickness, they are not recommended for ultra-slim fitting pumps.
