Scanfil Darning Wool for wool socks BRIGHT GREEN 94
Darning wool for repairing wool socks and clothing green
Yes, wool socks are absolutely wonderful... until the holes appear. We cannot say it often enough: pure wool socks will get holes. For some sooner than for others. It is therefore a well-known fact that 100% wool socks will develop holes. For some it happens faster than for others. My boyfriend, for example, gets holes in his socks quite quickly, while I can wear socks for winters on end. There can be many reasons for this, even the way you walk, the type of shoes, or whether you wear them with or without slippers. By the way, it is explicitly our advice not to wear them as slippers. That is 1. Dangerous, because wool socks are very slippery and 2. The wear-and-tear process happens even faster.
So, holes in wool socks are completely normal!
Despite our advice, holes in wool socks can never be completely prevented, because this is simply part of the properties of wool. Fortunately, holes in socks are very easy to darn.
The best thing is to start darning as soon as the wool of your socks becomes thin. If you don't, they can fray further. For you, it is (hopefully) not too late yet :-) Don't forget to order darning wool and a darning egg! For the latter, as you have seen, you can also use an orange!
If you are looking for a long-term solution for cold feet that you can comfortably walk around in indoors, then our Glerups are the answer. You can wear them without socks: warm feet guaranteed.
