FAQs
Are these socks suitable for newborns?
Yes, the soft organic merino wool and gentle construction make them suitable for newborns, provided the size is appropriate. The size 1-2 is generally for infants aged approximately 1-2 years, but always check measurements.
How do I know if the size is correct?
The size '1-2' typically corresponds to UK children's sizing for toddlers. Refer to the brand's specific sizing chart for precise measurements to ensure a good fit for your child.
Can these socks be worn year-round?
Yes, merino wool's natural temperature-regulating properties make these socks suitable for both warmer and cooler weather.
What makes merino wool good for babies?
Merino wool is naturally soft, breathable, moisture-wicking, and hypoallergenic, making it ideal for sensitive baby skin. It helps regulate body temperature, keeping babies comfortable.
How often should I wash these socks?
Wash as needed. Due to the natural properties of wool, they may require less frequent washing than synthetic materials. Always follow the care label instructions.
Will the elastic cuff be too tight?
The wide, elasticated cuff is designed to be gentle yet secure, preventing slippage without being uncomfortably tight for most babies. The elastane blend also provides flexibility.
Troubleshooting
Socks losing elasticity
Ensure you are washing with a wool-specific detergent and avoiding high heat during drying or washing.
Socks feeling too warm
Merino wool is breathable, but if the environment is extremely hot, consider alternative materials. Ensure socks are not layered too thickly.
Slight pilling after washing
Minor pilling can occur with natural fibers. This is normal and can be gently removed. Follow care instructions closely to minimize.
