Scanfil Darning Wool for wool socks blue
Darning wool for darning wool socks and clothing blue
Yes, wool socks are absolutely wonderful... until they get holes in them. We cannot say it often enough: holes happen in pure wool socks. For some people sooner than for others. It is therefore a well-known fact that 100% wool socks get 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 entire winters. There can be all sorts of causes, even your way of walking, the type of shoes you wear, or whether you wear them with or without slippers. By the way, we explicitly advise against wearing them as slippers. That is 1. Dangerous, because wool socks are super slippery and 2. The wear-and-tear process goes even faster.
Holes in wool socks are therefore completely normal!
Holes in wool socks, despite our advice, 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 to do is to start darning as soon as the wool of your socks becomes thin. If you don't, they can fray even 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 wear indoors, those would be our Glerups. You can simply wear those without socks: warm feet guaranteed.
