All-Day Merino Wool Comfort

To say we knit with the finest yarns is both a statement of quality and comfort. Merino Wool yarn is indeed a fine yarn – thin, silky, nothing like rag wool. For our more casual socks and dress socks, we knit using our thinnest Merino with a watchful eye over a performance fit. This means our lifestyle socks are sublimely smooth and wrap your foot, truly seamlessly, without bunching or slipping. Add wool’s ability to stay dry, resist odor, and regulate temperature, and you have all-day comfort. At least.

Almost, but not quite

"I ordered white, and the pattern is super-cute, but there was a funny seam in the back that turned the heel into a square shape. As a result, it had an unusual fit and I had to send them back."

— Aimee B. (3/5)

Only Darn Tough for me

"I won’t wear anything but Darn Tough socks anymore. I prefer the cushioning of hike socks and these are thinner. But great for casual summer wear. I love the micro crews and have several pairs. These are a color I was missing and I like them. The dots are cute too."

— Mary C. (5/5)
