Sheep wool socks

Sjors

There they are! The typical goat wool sock but then made of sheep wool with alpaca. In the past people already knitted socks. People repaired the socks themselves with pieces of leftover yarn, because knitting socks is quite expensive and time-consuming. With the enclosed piece of wool and darning needle you can now repair the socks yourself. We have knitted a short and a long version of the Sjors so there is something for everyone!

The production of these socks was made possible with the support of the Province of Utrecht and the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development.

The special properties of Dutch wool and alpaca

Wool from the traditional Dutch sheep has the characteristic of having a tougher appearance due to its coarser wool fibers. Alpaca wool is light, super soft and strong. Furthermore, merino wool has been added with the Responsible Wool Standard (RWS) seal of approval. This is a perfect match! Wool fibers are very elastic and have moisture-regulating properties. The wool sock warms wonderfully and the antibacterial property of wool keeps your feet smelling great. It is best to wash the socks at 30 degrees wool wash in washing machine.

These socks are 3D knitted, which means they are seamless. They have also been washed in a special way after making them which causes the yarn to felt slightly making them even warmer!

From residual wool to socks - Towards a regenerative bio-circular chain of Dutch wool

Coarser wool from Dutch sheep is often seen as a waste product and we want to do this differently at The Knitwit Stable. With these socks we save a lot of wool and we want to show that there are also circular ways of production.

The production of these socks was made possible with the support of the Province of Utrecht and the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development. Europe invests in its countryside. We were able to purchase a machine specifically for knitting socks. Through this project we were able to set up collaborations with other farmers, shearers and shops and there were educational activities to spread the knowledge about bio circular processes.
