Socks so natural you can compost them. Made from the wool of Bluefaced Leicester sheep, whose wool is known for making good hearty socks, sustainably sourced from small farms across the UK, naturally dyed with Usnea lichen sustainably harvested from the local forest floor, and knit on a hand-powered 100-year-old manual knitting machine. Each pair of socks is a labor of love, and takes about 4-5 hours to complete.

Committed to creating a more circular fiber economy, these socks are made the old-fashioned way of 100% unbleached wool, worsted spun into a 4-ply yarn and knit with an especially elastic rib construction, eliminating the need for added synthetic elastic or nylon. Truly plastic-free.

Each pair comes in an organic cotton reusable bag, allowing for optimum storage protection while traveling.

Care instructions: Wool socks are naturally antimicrobial, and as such require very infrequent laundering. When it does come time to give your socks a wash (we recommend no more than once a season), hand wash cold or run in a machine on a delicates cycle using a soap with a neutral pH. Lay flat to dry.

Also available in Indigo and Undyed.
