Organic cotton, wool, and linen blend knit socks, great for everyday wear all year round. Easy care and hardwearing but with the benefits of the warmth and moisture wicking properties of wool with the strength of cotton and linen. Similar to Hirsch Natur's "All Year Sock", this style has a higher cotton content for harder wear - Hirsch call these their "Guarantee Sock" as they are so confident how long they last for a sock without synthetics.
Wool is perfect for socks because it feels comfortable and dry, even when you sweat. It can absorb a lot of humidity (up to 33% of its dry weight).
Made in Germany by Hirsch Natur - Germany's oldest sock knitting mill. Hirsch Natur's Certified Organic Merino Wool comes from Patagonia.
