We’re totally in love with our new British Wool Socks, spun here in Yorkshire. Made in 6 of our signature shades- Bramley Baths, Viking, Coal, Chevin, Brass Band and Dalby- each pair have a super cute contrast cuff too. Even better news is they’re easy to care for- just pop them in the washing machine when they need to freshen up.

Toasty Toes: Why Wool Socks are Better than Cotton for Cosy Feet This Winter
Never tried wool socks? Wondering what all the fuss is about. When the temperature drops and autumn creeps in those cotton socks in your drawer are going to do nothing to keep your toes toasty. When cotton gets wet, it loses all its insulating properties, so you might as well not bother with socks at all, like one of those trendy brogue-wearing hipsters. You might not have leaky boots or go jumping in muddy puddles, but your own perspiration will still mean you’ll end up with damp, cold feet.
