FAQs
Why choose Merino Wool for baby socks?
Merino Wool is naturally breathable, temperature-regulating, moisture-wicking, and odor-resistant, making it ideal for keeping a baby's sensitive feet comfortable in varying conditions.
How do I wash these Merino Wool socks?
Machine wash on a gentle wool program at a maximum of 30°C using a wool-specific detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Lay flat to dry.
Are these socks suitable for crawling babies?
Yes, the reinforced heel and toe sections are designed to withstand the increased wear from crawling, providing added durability.
What does the elastane and polyamide do in the blend?
Polyamide adds durability and structure, while elastane provides excellent stretch and elasticity, ensuring a comfortable and secure fit that moves with the baby.
How long will the elastic ankle cuff last?
With proper care (avoiding high heat and harsh detergents), the elastic cuff is designed to maintain its integrity and prevent sliding down over time.
Can these socks be worn year-round?
Yes, the natural thermoregulating properties of Merino Wool make these socks suitable for both warmer and cooler temperatures throughout the year.
What is the size 1-2 UK equivalent?
This size typically corresponds to an age range of approximately 12-24 months, but always refer to a foot measurement for the most accurate fit.
Troubleshooting
Socks lose shape after washing.
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and a gentle wool cycle at 30°C or less. Avoid machine drying or high heat ironing. Lay flat to dry.
Ankle cuff feels too tight or too loose.
The elastic cuff is designed for a gentle, secure fit. If it feels too tight, ensure you are not stretching it excessively during dressing. If it feels loose, check that the correct size is being used. Wool can sometimes relax slightly with wear; ensure proper washing care.
Baby seems uncomfortable or skin is irritated.
While Merino Wool is hypoallergenic, ensure no other factor is causing discomfort. Double-check the size and that the socks are not bunched up. Confirm care instructions have been followed to maintain softness.
