Scanfil Darning Wool for wool socks LILAC
Darning wool for mending wool socks and clothing lilac
Yes, wool socks are the absolute best... until holes start appearing in them. We cannot say it often enough: holes will appear in pure wool socks. For some people faster than for others. It is therefore a plain fact that holes appear in 100% wool socks. For some, it happens faster than for others. My boyfriend, for instance, gets holes in his socks quite quickly, while my socks last for winters on end. It can have all sorts of causes, even the way you walk, the type of shoes you wear, or whether you wear them with or without slippers. 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 is 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 mend
The best thing is to start darning as soon as the wool on 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 the house in, our Glerups are the answer. You can wear them without socks: warm feet guaranteed.
