“Thank you for making the best socks I’ve worn since my childhood when all socks seemed to be comfortable, warm and woolly! ” – Ian, from Lancashire
Our socks are of the tough, traditional, good ‘old-fashioned’ type, made for a life outdoors in boots and wellies. They are knitted from our own ‘Hebridean’ yarns and have proved to be very popular with farmers and fishermen, explorers and gardeners, canoeists, skiers and cavers, as well as those who simply want a warm pair of feet on a cold stone floor. You won’t find a better pair of British wool socks anywhere! Read my blog to find out why I call them Salted Wool.
With their calf-length ribbed leg, cushioned sole and a comfortable toe seam, our socks have a roomy fit and some will find them best worn over a thinner pair of socks.
Available colours:
St. Kilda grey
Nevis dark brown
Wool content: St. Kilda is knitted from a blend of Hebridean and Shetland wools; Nevis is knitted from a blend of Hebridean, Black Welsh and Black Texel wools
Wool source: all of our wools in our socks are sourced from farms in and around Sedbergh in the Yorkshire Dales, plus some black welsh from a very special place in the northwest Highlands of Scotland.
Recommended care: Handwash or gentle wool cycle at 30C. Do NOT tumble dry. If you put them in a tumble dryer they will shrink and go hard…..so don’t do it!! Re-shape whilst damp.
