Scanfil Darning Wool for wool socks SKY BLUE 55
Darning wool for mending wool socks and clothing blue
Yes, wool socks are the absolute best... until holes start to appear. We cannot say it often enough: pure wool socks will get holes. Some people get them faster than others. It is therefore a plain fact that holes will appear in 100% wool socks. For some, it happens faster than for others. For example, my boyfriend gets holes in his socks quite quickly, whereas I can wear mine for winters on end. There can be many reasons for this, even the way you walk, the type of shoes you wear, or whether you wear them with or without slippers. Incidentally, we strongly advise against wearing them as slippers. That is 1. Dangerous, because wool socks are super slippery, and 2. The wear-and-tear process happens even faster.
Holes in wool socks are completely normal!
Holes in wool socks can never be completely prevented, despite our advice, because this is simply part of the properties of wool. Fortunately, holes in socks are very easy to darn.
It is best to start darning socks as soon as the wool begins to get thin. If you don't, they may unravel further. For you, it is (hopefully) not too late yet :-) Don't forget to order darning wool and a darning egg along with them! For the latter, as you have seen, you can also use an orange!
If you are looking for a longer-term solution for cold feet that you can comfortably walk around the house in, then our Glerups are the answer. You can just wear those without socks: warm feet guaranteed.
