Särmä Heavyweight Knee Socks, Merino Wool

Getting a bit chilly, but long johns are too much? The solution is knee socks! These are great with long pants as well as short ones. The Heavyweight Knee Socks from Särmä are the thickest and warmest of our socks. The material has increased wool content, and a solid knit to help them stay up.

• Suitable for hiking, hunting and comfortable chilling
• Thick terrycloth from Merino Wool
• 74% Merino Wool, 25% Polyamide, 1% Elastane
• 23.5 micron

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.

Starting from August 2020, the packages of new Särmä socks will have a QR code that you can use to trace the merino wool source. This will also raise the prices of the socks a bit, but it is a tiny thing in comparison to how cool this transparency is!

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.
