FAQs

Are these socks suitable for newborns?

Yes, the size 0-6 months is suitable for newborns and young infants. The soft merino wool is gentle on sensitive newborn skin.

How do merino wool socks regulate temperature?

Merino wool fibers have a natural crimp that creates air pockets, providing insulation in cold weather. They are also highly breathable and can wick moisture away from the skin, helping to keep the wearer cool in warmer conditions.

Can I put these socks in the washing machine?

Yes, but only on a wool or delicate cycle with cold water (max 30°C) and a wool-specific detergent. Avoid high heat and aggressive spin cycles.

Why do the socks have a blend of materials?

The blend of 85% merino wool, 13% polyamide, and 2% elastane enhances durability, elasticity, and shape retention while retaining the benefits of merino wool.

How should I dry these socks?

Always air dry. Lay the socks flat on a towel away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not use a tumble dryer, as the heat can damage the wool fibers and cause shrinkage.

What does 'organic merino wool' mean?

It signifies that the wool is sourced from merino sheep raised under organic farming standards, which typically involve sustainable land management and animal welfare practices, free from certain pesticides and chemicals.

Will the socks shrink if I wash them incorrectly?

Yes, improper washing, especially using hot water or a tumble dryer, can cause merino wool to shrink significantly.

Troubleshooting

Socks lose shape after washing.

Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and a gentle, cold wash cycle. Avoid high temperatures and tumble drying. Reshape the socks while damp and lay flat to dry.

Socks feel scratchy.

Merino wool is naturally soft, but some individuals may be sensitive. Ensure you are washing with a mild detergent. With continued use and proper care, the fibers often soften further.

Elastic cuff feels too tight.

While designed for a secure fit, if the cuff feels excessively tight, try stretching it gently after washing. Ensure you have selected the correct size for your baby.
