FAQs

Can I wash these socks in a machine?

It is strongly recommended to hand-wash only to preserve the wool fibers and the integrity of the orb embroidery.

Are these socks one size fits all?

The socks are designed with a flexible wool blend to fit a range of adult sizes comfortably.

Does the orb embroidery cause discomfort?

No, the embroidery is positioned on the exterior cuff to ensure it does not rub against the leg.

Can I wear these with low-cut shoes?

While possible, the design is intended for knee-high boots to highlight the tartan pattern and the orb detail.

Are they itchy?

They are made of quality wool, but if you have highly sensitive skin, you may prefer to wear thin silk liners underneath.

Troubleshooting

Socks slipping down during wear

Ensure the ribbed cuff is pulled high and positioned firmly against the calf; avoid using heavy lotions on skin before wearing.

Fuzzing or pilling of the wool

Use a fabric shaver or a sweater comb lightly on the surface to remove pills caused by friction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Locharron socks, proper care is essential.

  1. Washing: Always hand-wash in cool water using a detergent specifically formulated for wool or delicates.
  2. Drying: Lay the socks flat on a clean towel to air dry. Never wring or twist the fabric, as this can distort the tartan pattern and damage the fibers.
  3. Storage: Fold them gently rather than hanging them to prevent stretching the ribbing.
  4. Compatibility: These are best suited for pairing with knee-high or over-the-knee boots. Ensure your boot interior is free of sharp debris or rough inner zippers that could snag the wool material.
