Won't merino wool feel itchy? And what does 17.5 micron mean?

17.5 micron superfine merino fibers are finer than human hair — too fine to feel itchy, even on sensitive skin. Standard wool (25+ microns) causes irritation; this doesn't. OEKO-TEX certified, tested against 100+ harmful substances.

How do I wash and dry it to keep it looking new ? Will it shrink or lose shape?

Machine wash cold max 30°C, delicate cycle, inside out. Lay flat to dry — tumble drying permanently damages merino fibers. Store clean and dry; keep merino in sealed bags to prevent moths. Wear 3–5 days between washes — merino resists odor naturally

Can it be worn in summer?

Yes — merino actively releases heat in warm conditions, staying drier and odor-free compared to synthetics. Temperature-regulating fiber works in both directions: warm in cold, breathable in heat.

Are these thick winter socks or can they fit in regular shoes?

Mid-weight — thicker than dress socks, lighter than heavy boot socks. Fits comfortably in sneakers, casual shoes, and low-cut hiking shoes without bulk. Ideal from 20°F to 65°F -6°C to 18°C. Merino insulates even when wet, unlike synthetic.

Where does the merino wool sourced from and is this product certified?

Our products are made from New Zealand merino wool, RWS certified — independent farm audit confirming animal welfare and land management standards. Every component tested against 100+ harmful substances under OEKO-TEX Standard 100.

Great

I own several pair of these. They work great! I live in Phoenix and they keep you cool and dry and odor free.

Falling apart

I noticed a hole after a couple wears and figured I must've snagged it. Then I noticed more and more and they seem to be disintegrating. I wash AND dry on gentle/low heat. Wish I could return them but they're outside the allowed time.

Nice material

Light and comfortable other than the waistband. Something is poking and itching my waistline in the front.
