*Hirsch Natur's new Jacquard socks with a knitted in Linen sole for reinforcement in a bright pink/orange and blue jacquard pattern!

Patterned socks for adults in a breathable blend of 95% organic Merino wool and 5% linen strategically knit into the sole to help reduce wear and tear but avoid the synthetic fibres. Made in Germany by Hirsch-Natur - Germany's oldest sock knitting mill. 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 95% 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.
