HIRSCH NATUR striped wool socks – 100% organic wool

There are socks, and then there are HIRSCH NATUR wool socks. So warm, soft, and breathable that even grandma would say: “I never managed to knit them that beautifully!” These classically striped socks are made of 100% organic wool – ethically produced, plastic-free, and without compromise. And yes: they feel just as wonderful as they look.

Why you’ll want them

Do you always have cold feet? Then these socks are a game-changer. Wool regulates temperature better than any other material: warm in winter, breathable in summer. Furthermore, wool doesn't retain odors – so, wear them for a day and then wash them? Not necessary. Just air them out and they are fresh again. These socks come in multiple color combinations and go just as well with jeans as they do with your favorite slippers.

Fit & sizing advice

Our wool socks run large, so if you are between two sizes, feel free to choose the smaller one. They are available in sizes 36 through 48, making them suitable for both women and men. The cuff is comfortable without constricting, and the natural elasticity of the wool ensures they stay in place without sagging. Put them on and you will immediately understand why customers swear by Hirsch Natur.

Material & care

Made of 100% organic wool – without synthetic additives. The wool is GOTS-certified and sourced from controlled organic farms in Europe. And here is the best part: you hardly ever need to wash them. Wool cleans itself thanks to the natural lanolin (wool fat) in the fiber. Just hang them outside or in the bathroom after wearing, and they are ready for use again.

Do you still want to wash them? Use cold water, the wool wash cycle, and a bit of Lanalicious wool detergent. This nourishes the fiber, keeps it supple, and prevents drying out. For extra tips, you can watch this video I made especially for you. Also, be sure to read our wash guide carefully, which is included with every purchase.

Sustainable & ethical

HIRSCH NATUR is a German family business that has been making honest wool products since 1928. Their wool is 100% natural, without microplastics, without chemical dyes, and fully biodegradable. The socks are produced sustainably with respect for people, animals, and the environment – exactly as it should be.

Not unimportant: maintenance & wear

Sustainable does not mean indestructible. 100% wool is more prone to wear than socks with synthetic fibers. So, wear properly fitting shoes, and if you notice them getting thinner: simply darn them with darning wool. It’s rewarding work – and your socks will last for years.

FAQ – frequently asked questions

Do these socks itch?
No, the wool from Hirsch Natur is soft and supple. Wool breathes, which prevents clammy feet – and therefore prevents irritation.

Can I put them in the washing machine?
Preferably not too often. Only on the cold wool wash cycle, with Lanalicious. Otherwise: just air them out; that works better.

Are they suitable as slippers?
No, these socks are not reinforced with synthetic fibers and will wear out faster with direct contact with the floor. Wear them inside shoes or slippers.

Why do they run large?
Wool is elastic and shapes itself to your foot. Hirsch Natur does not use synthetic elastic fibers, so the fit is naturally a bit looser.

Why is wool so sustainable?
Because wool is breathable, renewable, and biodegradable – and thanks to the lanolin, it is also antibacterial. No microplastics, no waste, just warm feet.
