Description
Nordic, apres ski, fairisle – if it makes you picture snowy scenes and roaring fires then the name fits. And toasty warm feet too!
Made from a good quality 75% Superwash wool/25% nylon blend, these socks are practical and hard wearing and will last and last. Once you’ve tried knitted socks you’ll never want to wear anything else. So comfortable, so warm, so long lasting. Featuring a fully ribbed cuff which continues across the top of the foot for a great fit but comfy too.
Softening slightly with each wash, you can expect a very small amount of shrinkage initially, but it shouldn’t alter the fit as they will stretch back out with wear. That’s another bonus with knitted socks – they stretch and fit a wide range. And being superwash no special care is required – these are machine washable at 30 degrees (although I usually wash mine on the 30 degree wool setting).
If you like a snug sock, aren’t likely to wash them at superhot temperatures, and have average width feet, choose the larger of the 2 sizes it will fit to match your shoe size (ie if you’re a 5, choose 4-5). If you have wide feet, choose the smaller size to allow for more widthwise stretch. The smallest size mentioned is the smallest standard foot size they will comfortably fit, but these things have S-T-R-E-T-C-H so will fit at least 1, and often 2 sizes bigger.
They won’t last forever, but I’ve been wearing my knitted socks for years and years and years (I hand knitted them before Bessie the vintage Circular Sock Machine arrived in March 23), and 95% are still going strong to this day, so I’m pretty confident in saying they should last you for years too.
