FAQs

What is the main benefit of the double-face construction?

The double-face construction provides a dual benefit: the merino wool exterior offers excellent warmth and temperature regulation, while the undyed organic cotton interior with high-pile finish ensures superior cushioning and softness against your skin.

Are these socks suitable for all seasons?

These socks are specifically designed for cold-weather wear due to their insulating properties. While the merino wool offers some breathability, they may be too warm for mild or summer conditions.

How do I choose the right size?

Refer to the sizing guide provided: Small fits UK 3–6, Medium fits UK 7–9, and Large fits UK 10–12. It is recommended to choose the size that best matches your usual shoe size.

Can I machine wash these socks?

While hand washing in cold water is recommended for optimal care, you can machine wash them on a delicate cycle with cold water. Always use a wool-specific detergent and avoid fabric softeners.

What does 'undyed organic cotton' mean?

It means the cotton used for the inner layer has not been dyed, preserving its natural color and reducing the use of chemicals. This is often preferred for direct skin contact.

What is the material composition?

The socks are made from 85% cotton, 15% wool, 4% polyester, and 1% polyurethane.

Where are these socks manufactured?

These socks are proudly made in Japan.

Troubleshooting

Socks feel too tight or too loose.

Ensure you have selected the correct size based on the provided UK sizing guide. If the fit is still off, consider if the material has shrunk or stretched with washing.

Reduced warmth or cushioning after washing.

Check if the care instructions were followed correctly. Avoid high heat washing or drying. Gentle washing and air drying are crucial for maintaining material integrity.

Pilling on the merino wool exterior.

Some pilling is natural with wool fibers over time. You can gently remove pills with a fabric shaver or by hand. Ensure you are using appropriate wool wash and avoiding excessive friction during washing.
