Soft and warm merino socks
Merino wool socks are distinguished by their elegant appearance and unique properties. All thanks to the material. Merino wool is extracted from the fleece of merino sheep, which are considered the oldest species of sheep in the world. The animals originally came from Asia, but now live primarily in the mountains of New Zealand. Harsh weather conditions have influenced merino sheep to be perfectly adapted to extreme weather conditions. The wool of the animals has thermoregulatory properties, so it protects the sheep from the cold in winter and from overheating in summer. Merino wool has a unique structure. It is extremely dense, and at the same time consists of thin fibers. This differentiates it from classic wool, which consists of much thicker fibers. This affects both the properties of the wool and its softness. Due to its unusual structure, merino wool is soft to the skin and does not give the impression of so-called biting. Clothes and accessories made of merino wool retain the properties of the material. As a result, merino socks are extremely gentle on the skin and provide superior comfort. In our online sock store you will find a wide selection of various colors. Black merino socks are sure to please lovers of classics, while pink wool socks will win the hearts of supporters of extravagance.
Properties of merino wool
We already know that merino wool has a number of unique properties due to its unusually structured fibers. Thanks to their small diameter, wool exhibits thermoregulatory abilities. This means that merino socks are an excellent choice for all seasons. In summer they wick away excess moisture, while in winter they protect against the cold. Importantly, merino wool protects against UV radiation, which is different from classic wool. The material protects the skin from excess moisture, and thus also from the proliferation of bacteria and the resulting odor. As if that wasn't enough, merino wool has anti-static properties, so it is not prone to electrification. The material is easy to clean and extremely durable. Although we prefer not to test this, it is worth adding that merino wool shows very high resistance to fire.
