Frequently asked questions
Everything about merino wool, ordering, shipping and returns.
Merino wool
Merino wool has much finer fibres than ordinary wool, which is why it does not itch. It is softer, temperature regulating, naturally odour-resistant and biodegradable. Our merino is also NATIVA™ certified, which guarantees ethical production too.
Absolutely. Merino wool actively regulates your body temperature: warm in winter, cool in summer. Its breathable, moisture-regulating properties make it suitable all year round.
Yes, 100%. Our NATIVA™ wool comes from Estancia La Magdalena in Uruguay, a certified farm where mulesing is absolutely forbidden. This is monitored and guaranteed through the NATIVA™ blockchain technology.
A deliberate choice. We skip washing at the factory to save water. As a result the socks can feel a little stiffer and roomier the first time, but with every wash they become softer and more comfortable. That is a hallmark of real merino wool.
Yes. The fine merino fibres are much softer than ordinary wool and kind to sensitive skin. People who normally cannot tolerate wool often wear our socks without any trouble.
Merino wool keeps you warm in winter thanks to its insulating properties, while its breathable structure keeps you cool in summer. It manages moisture effectively, keeps you dry and prevents odours thanks to its antibacterial properties. That versatility makes merino wool ideal for every season.
Merino socks should be washed gently to keep them at their best. Read our washing instructions here.
