Scanfil Darning Wool for wool socks black
Darning wool for darning wool socks and clothing black
Yes, wool socks are the best... until holes start to appear. We cannot say it often enough: holes will develop in pure wool socks. For some people sooner than for others. So it is a simple fact that holes will appear in 100% wool socks. For some, it happens faster than for others. My partner, for example, gets holes in his socks quite quickly, while I can wear the same socks for winters on end. There can be all sorts of causes, even the way you walk, the type of shoes you wear, or whether you wear them with or without slippers. By the way, 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 speeds up even more.
Holes in wool socks are therefore completely normal!
Despite our advice, holes in wool socks can never be completely prevented, because that is simply part of the properties of wool. Fortunately, holes in socks are very easy to darn
It is best 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 along with your purchase! For the latter, as you have seen, you can also use an orange!
Should you be looking for a longer-term solution for cold feet that you can comfortably walk around indoors in, then our Glerups are the answer. You can just wear them without socks: warm feet guaranteed.
