Chunky Camel Wool Socks (36-43)

Camel wool is the ultimate cosy winter fibre. These socks are luxuriously soft and warm and the camel hair is undyed and unbleached. Camel fibre has especially good temperature regulating properties making it a great fibre for socks. These socks, made in Italy by Lana Bambini, are blended with wool, cotton and hemp for strength and durability. Like Hirsch Natur, Lana Bambini socks contain no synthetic content other than a few threads of recycled elastane in the cuff to hold them up, making them totally breathable, odour resistant and healthier for your feet.

Since camel fibres have less elasticity than wool, a wash will restore them to their original shape if they get loose in the foot.

Colour: Caramel

Sizes (see chart below): 35/37, 38/39, 40/41, 42/43, 44/45

Brand: Lana Bambini
Designed in: Italy
Country of manufacture: Italy
Fabric structure: Knitted from 55% camel hair, 30% undyed sheep wool, 12% unbleached undyed cotton, and 3% hemp. A few strings of recycled elastane are threaded into the top inch of the cuff to stop the socks from falling down - these make up 0.3-0.5% of total fibres
Biodegradability: Camel hair, sheep wool, and unbleached cotton are 100% biodegradable. Before composting, remove the few elastane threads in the cuff to dispose of separately, or cut away top inch to re-use as a hair-tie, garden tie, etc.
Machine Washable: No (see our guide to washing wool) 

Care: Wash only when required. Airing your all natural wool socks is sufficient to clean. We recommend hand washing to preserve the natural properties and performance of the wool and to avoid shrinking. 

Size guide: (true to size) To ensure your socks are not subject to unnecessary friction be sure to choose a well fitted sock. Don't size up. Read below for more tips.

More about 100% wool socks or socks without nylon. Like our Hirsch Natur socks, Lana Bambini socks are made from a high percentage of untreated merino wool and so are recommended handwash only. 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 doesn’t take too long and will save them from shrinking.
