Snowfall Socks - Organic Merino (Adults 36-43)

Organic merino wool socks in layers of jacquard pattern called snowfall. Medium-weight pure wool socks knit by Hirsch Natur, Germany's oldest sock knitting mill. 

Wool feels comfortable and dry, even when you sweat. It can absorb a lot of humidity (up to 33% of its dry weight) making it the perfect fibre for healthy feet.

Colours: Cobalt/Slate/Natural, Black/Slate/Natural

Brand: Hirsch Natur, est. 1928
Designed in: Germany
Origine of Fibre:Sourced from certified organic farming in Patagonia
Country of manufacture: Spun in Europe. Dyed, knitted and manufactured in Germany.
Certifications:NATURTEXTIL IVN certified BEST (IVN BEST) organic
Fabric structure: Knitted from 100% certified organic merino wool. A few strings of elastane are sewn 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: Wool fibres 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: Air between uses, only wash when required, handwash or gentle cold wool machine cycle. Please treat these socks with the same care and love you'd give to a handknitted sock. Always wear with sock savers (slippers!) to reduce wear and tear on your qualitywool socks. All wool socks will wear through faster than socks with nylon. Darn for life long love.

More about 100% wool socks. Hirsch natur socks are made from 100% unprocessed organic merino wool and are Handwash only. 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.
