Särmä Knee Socks, Merino Wool Terry

Wool terry construction works amazingly well with socks, and even better with Merino wool. These knee-high socks are at their best during autumn, winter, and spring, but thanks to the whole afore-mentioned terry thing, they tend not to cause excessive sweating during summer months either. Made in Finland!

• An excellent hiking and cold weather sock
• Made with terry knit all around
• 60 % merino wool, 38 % polyamide, 2 % elastane

The specialty of these socks is the terrycloth fabric. The inside of the sock 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 others.

An additional benefit of terry knit is the fact that these won't slide and wrinkle when worn.

The joys of merino wool

Merino wool is moisture wicking, quick drying, and self-rinsing. It's also machine-washable, but washing is usually unnecessary - wool cleans itself. Machine wash in 40 degrees Celsius when needed. Don't leave them in a wet lump after washing. Reshape them gently while still damp. When not in use a good shake and airing outside will magically cleanse the wool. You only need to wash merino wool if you see stains or the clothing starts to smell really bad. This usually requires lots of continuous use without airing.

Made of 60 % Merino wool, 38 % polyamide, 2 % elastane. The polyamide is added to the mix for wear resistance, you can march countless miles before wearing these out. The sock will shrink about 10 % in the first wash. This is taken into account in the sizing.

And yes, the wool is mulesing free!
