What if my merino socks start to pill?
It’s completely normal for wool socks to pill—especially in areas where there’s a lot of friction, like inside your shoes. The good news? You can easily remove the little fuzz balls with a fabric shaver or sweater comb. Once you’ve done it once, they typically won’t come back as much.
Are these thick or thin merino wool socks?
It’s not a thick merino wool sock. We wanted this to be a true all-season merino sock, one you can wear year-round with regular shoes. These merino socks have a thickness similar to dress socks. The rib knit gives it visual texture and a tailored look without becoming bulky.
How can I wash these merino wool socks?
You can wash our merino wool socks in the machine at 30°. Use a wool detergent, as enzymes in other detergents can damage the wool. Also, avoid using fabric softener. Air-dry your socks to keep them in their best shape.
How many days can you wear merino wool socks before washing?
How long you can wear merino wool socks before washing depends on the activity and personal preference. Some wear merino wool socks 2-3 days before washing, others up to a week or more. Take your sock, smell, and decide.
Are merino wool socks worth the money?
If your priorities are affordability or you’re sensitive to wool, you might opt for alternatives, but for many, especially hikers, commuters, and comfort-conscious wearers, they’re a worthwhile investment. These are the main reasons:
-Superior moisture-wicking and odour resistance.
-Excellent temperature regulation.
-Exceptional comfort and softness.
-Durability; well-constructed merino wool socks are resilient and will retain their shape.
What is the disadvantage of merino wool socks?
Merino wool socks are more expensive. They are often more delicate, but we solved that by reinforcing the sole, toe and heel with Nylon. Merino wool socks can take a bit longer to dry compared to synthetic socks, as they actively pull sweat away from your feet to let it slowly evaporate on the outside. Our merino wool socks are washable at 30° and shouldn’t be put in the dryer.
