  • Description

Description

Our Woollyback socks are knitted from thick, warm ‘Shetland-type’ yarn (i.e. a yarn created from a mixture of wools that resemble a Shetland yarn in texture but which are not sourced from Shetland).  The yarn has a lovely quality and knits into fantastic socks.  By using this yarn we’ve been able to reduce the nylon content of these socks to just 10% and still keep a cushioned sole and a ribbed leg.

We have just a few pairs of our Woollyback socks left in stock now.

  • Bog — deepest peaty green almost brown
  • Bramble — a lovely purple with a hint of grey
  • Broom — a mustardy yellow with flecks of red and green
  • Storm — a soft greyish-blue

These calf-length, cushioned-soled socks are just as comfortable as our popular Salted Wool Socks, and are possibly even thicker and warmer!

PLEASE NOTE:  These socks are generously sized and tend to run large.  I am a size 5 (UK) and wear the small size over another pair of cotton socks but they are still quite roomy.  If you prefer a closer fit you’ll prefer the Salted Wool Socks.

Good to know:

  • fibre:  90% wool plus 10% nylon for structure, stretch and stability
  • made in the UK — knitted in Leicestershire, the historical heartland of England’s sock industry
  • Two adult sizes
    • Small (4-7 / 36-41)
    • Medium (8-10 / 42-45)
  • Recommended care: Handwash or in a gentle wool cycle at 30C  (if they seem very large, an initial wash at 40C in a wool cycle or short cycle will shrink them a little bit)
  • Do NOT tumble dry. If you put them in a tumble dryer they will felt and go hard…..so don’t do it!!  Re-shape whilst damp.
