Thick socks in pure organic virgin wool, adorned with a traditional Norwegian pattern.

A warm and authentic model, inspired by Nordic knitwear designed to withstand the cold.

Dense, insulating and comfortable knit.
Ideal for:

• winter
• home
• boots
• mountain stays
• cold and dry environments

A timeless classic, as functional as it is aesthetic.

Natural properties

• Natural thermoregulation
• Moisture absorption without feeling wet
• Natural odor limitation
• Fewer washes needed

Wool can absorb up to about 30% of its weight in moisture while remaining dry to the touch.

Why have 100% wool socks become almost impossible to find?

Socks made of pure, untreated wool are extremely rare today.
You can still find them from a few committed small manufacturers - but almost no longer in the classic textile industry.

Why?

Because wool is a living, natural... and fragile fiber.
And feet are the most stressed part of the body.

Manufacturers then have two options:

○ Reinforce with synthetics.
This almost always involves an anti-felting treatment (Superwash or equivalent) to make the wool more resistant and machine washable.
Consequence: the fiber is modified, fixed, its scales altered - and it loses a large part of its natural properties so interesting for socks (thermoregulation, moisture management, bacterial balance).

○ Advocate for real wool.
Accept that it requires hand washing.
Accept that it can felt in the machine.
Accept that it is not indestructible.

But this also means:

• real breathability
• authentic thermoregulation
• naturally antibacterial environment
• less frequent washing
• unparalleled dry comfort
• one of the rare alternatives suitable for sensitive skin or those reactive to synthetic fibers (irritation, thermal discomfort, burning feet sensation, dermatological problems related to humidity).

Yes, pure wool socks can wear out.
Like all socks, by the way. Even synthetic ones.
The difference? Synthetics are cheap, replaceable, disposable without us even realizing it - and washed very often.

Wool, however, makes you want to mend it, repair it, keep it.

It's a conscious choice:
to prefer healthy, thermoregulated comfort, compatible with foot physiology -
rather than artificial durability obtained by adding plastic.

Few brands still agree to take on complaints related to "fragility."
Yet, this is often the sign of the most valuable quality.

Supporting these manufacturers means supporting intact wool.
And a different vision of textiles.

Size guide

Measurements are given for reference only.

As wool is a knitted fabric, naturally stretchy and sensitive to humidity, a variation of approximately 0.5 to 1 cm may exist.
Slight shrinkage may also occur after washing if care is not perfectly adapted.

The indicated sizes correspond to German shoe sizes and are offered in double sizes (e.g. 36-37, 38-39).

Between two sizes?

If you are between two shoe sizes or hesitate between two double sizes, choose the smaller one.

Example: my shoe size is a good 41, I wear 40-41 for this model, I don't take 38-39 or 42-43. But I can also fit into my child's 38-39 for this particular model, exceptionally, because it is looser and has a stretchy knit.

Attention:
by choosing the next size up, you are actually anticipating two full shoe sizes.

A well-fitted sock that fully plays its thermal role is better than an overly large model that is difficult to use.

Why does an oversized sock lose effectiveness?

A wool sock must be properly fitted to fully perform its role.

If it's too big:

• it creates wrinkles => increased friction
• it moves inside the shoe => loss of stability
• it does not properly maintain the insulating air layer around the foot

However, wool's thermal insulation relies on micro-cavities of air trapped within the knit.
If the sock is too loose, this natural regulation works less effectively.

A good fit allows for:

• better thermoregulation
• optimal comfort
• more even wear

Wool is stretchy: it adapts to the foot without compressing it.
Therefore, it is not necessary to "go big."
