Hirsch Natur pure wool socks made of 100% organic and fair wool.
Wool socks, made of 100% pure and organic wool. These wool socks with a beautiful colored Norwegian pattern are made in Germany from 100% certified organic wool, so you can be sure the sheep have a good life.
Warm feet are extremely important for feeling comfortable. Anyone who has ever had cold feet in bed knows that it is very difficult to fall asleep. If your feet are warm, the rest of your body often is too! With warm feet, you keep yourself standing much better. Our pure wool socks are warm and soft. The pure wool, as it were, puts a warm, wrapping layer around your body, which means you lose much less heat and this heat is regulated. This saves piles of lost energy. You will notice that you sleep better and are much less fatigued.
Our 100% wool socks from Hirsch Natur run large!
So if you are in doubt between 2 sizes, we advise you to choose the smaller size. Example: do you wear size 39/40? Then choose size 38/39. Do you wear size 40/42, then choose 40/41. Wool socks often become a bit looser when you wear them. It is annoying if wool socks start to "bunch up" because they are too loose. If in doubt, you can always contact us. The cuffs of the pure wool socks contain tiny elastic bands, so you don't have to worry about the socks sliding down. The elastic does not touch the skin. The socks are not skin-tight: so if you suffer from "thick" ankles, you don't have to worry about the socks pinching.
You don't have to wash pure and 100% wool socks.
Wool has the fantastic property that it cleans itself,
so hang them out for a night, and you can wear them again the next day! Do you want to know how this works exactly? We made a nice and informative vlog that explains this. You can find it here. Do you still want to wash them? Then ALWAYS do so on a wool wash program with a wool detergent that contains lanolin. Wool shrinks due to temperature fluctuations, not heat. A wool wash program maintains the same temperature throughout, making the chance of shrinkage very small. Wool wash on a low temperature and as low a spin speed as possible.
Pure wool socks wear out!
Yours too: There is absolutely nothing you can do about that... And it can happen faster than you think. The fact that pure wool socks wear out is because our socks, unlike 99% of all other "wool socks" sold, really contain no synthetic yarns. This makes the wool a lot more vulnerable to wear and tear. We therefore recommend that you rotate your socks regularly and purchase multiple pairs. Always wear them in well-fitting shoes in which you do not "slide". That accelerates the wear process significantly. For some, it happens after just a few days, and others can wear them for winters. Fortunately, wool socks are easy to darn; in our webshop, you will find darning wool, darning needles, darning eggs, and darning mushrooms. Check your socks after every wear to see if they have become thin. Typical places are at the toes, under the ball of your foot, or at the heels. Do this in time so that the pure wool socks do not start to fray open. We also wrote an extensive blog about this with tips and tricks to extend the lifespan of your socks: you can't really prevent it.
Please note: thin wool socks are logically more vulnerable than thick wool socks
! We offer no warranty for holes in wool socks caused by wear and tear !
you can find all darning wool here!
