So warm and gentle
"I would like to say a few words: I am very sensitive to synthetic fabrics, and these socks are exactly what I have been trying to find for a very long time!""
Our Donegal Wool Socks are designed as an everyday staple, combining a distinctive texture and pattern with year-round versatility. Traditional Irish-spun yarn from renowned spinner Donegal Yarns creates flecks of colour throughout the ribbed knit, adding character to casual outfits.
The blend of 74% Merino wool, 8% cashmere and 8% silk feels soft and comfortable, while polyamide and elastane provide durability and stretch. Wool’s natural breathability and moisture-wicking properties help manage perspiration, keeping feet feeling drier and comfortable throughout the day.
Wool also retains warmth when damp. Its naturally crimped fibres trap pockets of air, and the fibres absorb moisture, so a little rain or perspiration needn’t leave your feet feeling cold.
Wear them with boots or trainers for everyday outings, hiking and outdoor activities throughout the seasons.

£25.00
Soft, breathable and naturally moisture-wicking, our wool-rich socks help keep feet comfortable and feeling dry. A versatile companion for boots, trainers and outdoor adventures. Made in Scotland.
Traditional Irish-spun Donegal yarn brings distinctive flecks of colour to a textured ribbed knit. Merino wool, cashmere and silk combine for softness and warmth, with a pattern that adds interest to everyday outfits.
This piece is made in our Leicestershire factory by experienced knitters working at the centre of England’s long-established knitwear industry. The site has been integral to the development of our wool and cashmere collections, where attention to finish and consistency is essential.
Because we own and run the factory ourselves, we are closely involved at every stage of production. This hands-on approach allows us to control quality and materials, resulting in knitwear made in England that is built to last and offered with a clear, direct connection to the factory floor.
Overall rating: 5.0 / 5 from 1 reviews.
