Scanfil Darning Wool for wool socks FOREST GREEN
Darning wool for darning wool socks and clothing green
Yes, wool socks are absolutely wonderful... until holes appear in them. We cannot say it often enough: holes appear in pure wool socks. For some faster than for others. So it is a well-known fact that holes appear in 100% wool socks. 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 all sorts of causes, even the way you walk, the type of shoes, or whether you wear them with or without slippers. Incidentally, it is explicitly our advice not to wear them as slippers. That is 1. Dangerous, because wool socks are super slippery and 2. The wear-and-tear process goes even faster then.
Holes in wool socks are therefore quite normal!
Holes in wool socks can therefore, despite our advice, never be fully 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 the socks has become 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 along with your order! 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 the house in, that would be our Glerups. You can just wear them without socks: warm feet guaranteed.
