“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.
Do you have big feet? We have socks for you! Our largest size fits a UK size 11-13 (EU 46-49).
- 80% British wool plus 20% nylon for structure, stretch and stability;
- Knitted in Leicestershire, the historical heartland of England’s sock industry;
- Available in three undyed colours:
- St. Kilda — light grey
- Morar — soft grey-brown (just a few medium size left, they’ll return next year)
- Nevis — dark peaty brown
- and three adult sizes:
- Small (UK 4-7 / EU 36-41) (NOTE: if you are a size 7, I would advise sizing up for a looser fit)
- Medium (UK 8-10 / EU 42-45)
- Large (UK 11-13 / EU 46-49)
- Small (UK 4-7 / EU 36-41) (NOTE: if you are a size 7, I would advise sizing up for a looser fit)
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.
