The special properties of merino wool

Merino is an adaptable natural fiber that comes from the merino sheep. Compared to traditional Dutch wool, merino’s fibers are much thinner and therefore softer. For this reason, merino has many characteristics that make it wonderful for all kinds of garments. Not only is the merino soft but it also doesn’t itch or wrinkle. Garments made from merino are very breathable, meaning that they stay cool in the summer and keep you warm in the winter even when damp. Additionally merino has antibacterial properties so garments hardly need to be washed; airing them out is often more than enough. This way your favorite sweater will last for generations.

Our merino is sustainably sourced from our own merino sheep as well as other Dutch merino farmers. All the merino farmers we source from are vetted by The Knitstable Stable. Additionally all of our merino hasn’t been chemically treated like superwash which preserves the natural look of merino for our garments.

Choose your color and size

You can choose from four colors for these socks: dark blue, dark gray, light gray and sand. The sand is the natural color of the merino wool and not dyed. All yarns of our synthetic colors are washed and dyed according to the GOTS standard. This means that the amount of harmful chemicals has been reduced to a minimum.

These socks are available in three sizes; 37-39, 40-42 and 43-45.

Washing and maintenance

Wool socks have many good properties, they have excellent moisture regulation, they are self-cleaning, comfortable, do not retain unpleasant odors and are nice and warm. Unfortunately, they do wear out faster than synthetic socks. That is why we have put together a number of tips to ensure that you can still enjoy your socks for as long as possible.

Make sure you buy socks that fit well, socks that are too small wear out faster.

Do not just walk on the socks, wear slippers at home, for example. Dirt on the floor also causes the socks to wear out faster.

Change a pair of socks, so that you do not always wear the same pair.

In addition, you rarely have to wash wool socks. Wool naturally contains lanolin, this is a layer of fat that ensures that no dirt can penetrate the fiber. Wool can also absorb a lot of moisture without becoming sticky and does not develop unpleasant odors, because wool kills mold and bacteria immediately.

To freshen them up, you can hang them outside or, for example, in the bathroom while showering.

If you are going to wash the socks, it is best to do this as follows;

Preferably wash them by hand and otherwise on a wool wash program (30 degrees)

Use a wool detergent (normal detergent contains enzymes that damage the wool fiber, causing them to wear out faster)

Do not put them in the dryer and do not put them on the radiator, but let them dry lying down
