Part of Woollykins' Summer range of wool and other natural fibre socks!
These are Hirsch Natur's linen/cotton blend socks for adults, designed to last a lifetime with the durable combination of linen and organic cotton.
Sizes: 36/37, 38/39, 40/41, 42/43, 44/46 (see below for size chart)
Colours: Natural, Black Melange
Brand: Hirsch Natur est. 1923
Designed in: Germany
Country of manufacture: Spun in Europe. Dyed, knitted and manufactured in Germany.
Certifications: NATURTEXTIL IVN certified BEST (IVN BEST) organic
Fabric structure: Knitted from 60% certified organic cotton and 40% linen. A few strings of elastane are also sewn into the top inch of the cuff - these threads make up 0.3-0.5% of total fibres.
Biodegradability: Cotton and Linen fibres are 100% biodegradable. Before composting, remove the elastane threads in the cuff to dispose of separately.
Machine Washable: Yes
Care: Machine wash - max 30 degrees. These socks should be washed after each wear just like any non-wool sock as they don't benefit from wool's self-cleaning properties. Cotton and linen fibres are stronger than wool and will withstand more frequent washing. Knitted from 100% natural cotton and linen with no elastane in the body of the sock, these socks will relax with wear over time, and spring back to their original shape after each wash.
