Wool helps your feet not sweat, creating a comfortable thermal layer.
In addition, socks made from natural wool absorb moisture 7 times faster than socks made from other materials and can retain 40-50% of the released moisture inside their hairs, while remaining dry.
How to wash wool socks
Wash wool items separately from other fabrics to avoid unnecessary friction and matting of wool fibers.
Prepare the item for washing. Before washing, turn the clothes inside out and fasten all hooks and zippers to avoid snags, and unbutton the buttons, on the contrary, so that the button loops do not stretch.
Turn the machine on to the “Wool” or delicate wash mode. Alternatively, if there are no such modes, use normal washing, but with cold water. Use a mild detergent.
The packaging of such powders or gels should indicate that it is intended for washing delicate fabrics.
Is it possible to wash wool socks with regular socks
If the socks are woolen or synthetic, then hot water will lead to significant shrinkage, so such items are washed in conditions up to 40 ° C in a delicate cycle, with a low drum speed.
To wash white and light-colored cotton socks, set the temperature to 60 °C.
How to make wool socks soft
To soften wool items, you can use the freezer compartment in your refrigerator.
Place the item in a plastic bag and place it in the freezer for about 8 hours.
Next, you need to remove it, defrost it and dry it thoroughly. After freezing, the wool becomes softer.
