HN725
These soft, finely knitted socks for babies and children are made from pure organic wool. Wool is an excellent choice for socks because it helps maintain a consistent temperature. These socks contain no synthetic materials.
Made by Hirsch Natur, these socks are 100% organic wool*, certified by IVN and meeting the GOTS standards. Hirsch Natur is a family owned German company that has been manufacturing exceptionally high quality socks for over 70 years.
From Hirsch Natur: Wool can absorb a lot of humidity (up to 33% of its dry weight). The special surface of the fibres create voluminous Structures (Felt) with very good insulating properties.
Hirsch Natur's organic combed wool is from Patagonia. The climate there, with temperatures below zero, is better for the sheep than the hot and dry climate in Australia. Many of the parasites causing problems in Australia don’t thrive in Patagonia. Therefore, cruel treatments like Mulesing are not necessary and of course prohibited in organic farming.
Organic sheep farming requires a responsible attitude to keeping livestock. Thus eco farmers place great emphasis on healthy and species appropriate husbandry as opposed to maximizing proceeds. The farmers accept a greater work load for the benefit of animal welfare resulting in better wool quality. Only organic forage is used, synthetic additives are not permitted. Preventative chemical treatments are not allowed.
Made in Germany.
*please note that these socks have several small, elastic threads woven into the very top section to hold them up around the ankle. The manufacturer includes these elastic threads because without them, socks made from only natural fibers will not stay up around the ankle. The elastic threads have minimal, if any, contact with the skin. The fabric itself is made from 100% organic wool (no synthetic materials)*
Care: Wool socks rarely need to be washed, as long as they are aired out regularly. Hand wash & lay flat to dry as needed. Generally, woollen socks should be worn only for one day, and then air it for two days. It is sufficient to wash socks worn/aired like this every 2 months. Wash Hirsch wool socks with wool detergents or shampoo, and if possible by hand
