The specialty of these socks is the terrycloth fabric. The sock inside is full of small loops, just like on your standard towel, which makes the surface area quite massive and the fabric nice and thick. Thanks to the construction, these are quite airy and allow for some airflow, making them quite comfy no matter what the temperature outside is. These work well on their own or coupled with liner socks.
All merino wool in Särmä products is mulesing-free.
Want to know where the merino wool comes from?
Our sock provider Sukkamestarit has joined the NATIVA™system, the purpose of which is to be able to trace the merino wool back to individual sheep farms. Because of this, you will also be able to find out where the wool for all our merino wool Särmä socks comes from.
From August 2020, the packages of new Särmä socks got a QR code that you can use to trace the source of the merino wool.

Material and care
74 % Merino Wool, 25% Polyamide, 1% Elastane. Machine wash inside out at 40° C / 104° F, wool program, and wool detergent recommended. Please don't leave them in a wet lump after washing. Reshape them gently while still damp and hang to dry. Shrinks about 10% in the first wash; this is already considered in the sizing.
Because of the high wool content, just airing the socks is often enough.
Made in Finland.

Of note, they call it "brown" but it's much closer to a "rust" color, not at all like a chocolate bar shade of brown. The product image color is accurate, so there's no misleading advertisement here because who doesn't look at the image before buying something?

Update: I have had these for a long time now and they are still going very strong. No noticeable wearing of the fabric and they are still very warm. I am now a few years into wearing them so they are a must buy I think.
