Sports Socks - Organic Merino/Linen (Adults 36-43)

NEW! Part of Woollykins' new Summer and activewear range of natural fibre socks! 

Sports socks for adults in a light and breathable blend of 70% organic Merino wool and 30% linen made in Germany by Hirsch-Natur. With a mid rise cuff and perfectly shaped for comfort. Excellent as active wear for the gym, yoga, jogging and all sorts of sports as well as lovely everyday wear.

Wool feels comfortable and dry, even when you sweat. It can absorb a lot of humidity (up to 33% of its dry weight) and doesn't feel cold or wet when damp.

More about wool socks: These Hirsch natur socks are made from 70% unprocessed organic merino wool and handwashing is recommended. Best to air your socks for three days if you feel they need a wash. Hirsch Natur recommend washing every 6 weeks. Alternate with another pair so you don’t wear them continuously, they need a break! They don’t have any nylon in them so with lots of wear the wool will start to wear down and then it’s time to reinforce them or mend any holes that are starting to develop, like in days of old. Because you don’t need to wash them very often, handwashing them doesn’t take too long and will save them from washing machine mishaps.
