Care

Machine wash merino ribbed calf length socks at up to 30°C using a gentle cycle and mild detergent.
Do not tumble dry, as heat can cause shrinking and damage the wool. Instead, reshape while damp and air dry flat away from direct heat sources such as radiators.
Do not bleach, as this can weaken the fibres and cause discolouration.
Ironing is usually not necessary, but if needed, use a low heat setting.
Avoid high temperatures and sudden heat changes to help prevent shrinking and keep your merino wool socks soft and long-lasting.

Sourcing

Pairs’ Merino wool socks are responsibly sourced and carefully made in Portugal. The Merino wool fibres are selected with a focus on quality and sustainability, supporting farms and mills that prioritise craftsmanship and environmental care. Once sourced, the wool is spun and knitted in a trusted, family‑run Portuguese mill, ensuring consistent quality and comfort.
