Temperatures are falling, so there is no better excuse to buy your loved ones a pair of Wool Socks this Christmas.

Your Granny needs no encouragement, as this time of the year, she is already wrapping up those snazzy Wool Socks.

But wait on a minute, their just might be some very Woolly reasons to be thankful..

Natural Thermal Properties of Wool

Wool is the natural fibre of choice which for hundreds of years has been used in apparel and most notably as a way to keep warm.

Wool absorbs one third of its own weight in moisture keeping skin dry, acting as a thermal layer trapping heat inside and keeping the cold out.

That means Wool Socks really work to keep warm!

Odour Reducing Wool

By expelling moisture away from the body, Wool stops your feet smelling and giving off unusual odours.

Because of Odour reducing properties more sports are adopting Wool in their base layer garments.

Environmental Credentials

Because Sheep provide Meat, Milk and Wool, their carbon footprint is lower than Oil based fibres, Sheep require less water than other Natural fibres such as Cotton.

That means your Wool Socks are less harmful to the environment which is baaar brilliant!

Thank ewe Granny!

Therefore think twice about wrapping up those Wool Socks and giving them to your Mum..

.. Give them a try, feel the benefits that Wool has to offer, not only will you stay warm and odour free..

.. one less item made from oil based materials like Polyester, Nylon or water intensive Cotton will be great for the environment..

.. and don’t forget, Wool grows naturally every year.
