Maria (wool/alpaca)
DESCRIPTION
Thick cosy and completely natural socks made from 65% Wool and 35% Alpaca. The shorter length means these are ideal for everyday use and useful in spring and autumn as well as winter. We especially like these socks for wearing to bed on freezing winter nights.
They contain no synthetic content and the wool is not treated with chemicals making them healthy for your skin as well. Because they are made from completely breathable fibres they don't hold odour or cause you to sweat like synthetics do.
COMPOSITION

CARE
Footwear could have a major influence on the lifetime of your socks. If the insides or insoles of your shoes are lumpy or worn it could damage your socks more easily.
Wear your wool socks once every 2-3 days allowing wrinkles to smooth out and fibers to recover naturally. No need to wash after every wear.
Put cedar balls, lavender or other moths protecting material to your socks drawer to prevent them from early deterioration.
Take good care of your feet. It can prevent snags and tears on your socks.

*There are a few elastane strings on top to help socks stay in place. If you have any allergic reaction to any material or fiber, please let us know upfront before placing an order.
In addition, if you have concerns regarding elastane and its environmental impact, please remove it when you believe your socks are no longer helpful and send/bring it back to the retailer or send it directly to us. We are working hard to find a bio-degradable alternative but in the meantime, repetitive use of elastane is the most sustainable option available. We will donate used elastane to the manufacturers of recycled polymer products.
We also recommend hand washing to prolong the life of your socks and the small amount of elastic used.
