Sock Product InfoUpdated 7 hours ago

What are they made from?
Our socks are made of 89% Merino and Cotton blend (50% Australian Merino Wool, 50% GOTS-Certified Organic Cotton), 10% Recycled Polyester, 1% Spandex. 

Logo Trim: 100% polyester.

It is an industry standard to include a small amount of synthetic fibre in socks to make them flexible.


Where are they made?
The socks are designed in Melbourne, Australia, and the manufacturing is done in China under fair-trade conditions.


Where do we source our wool?
Our wool is supplied by Techwool Trading. This is an Australian wool trading company, they purchase wool from different farms in Australia and make sure the wool is ethically provided and meets the AWTA standard requirement.

When the factory purchases the wool from Techwool Trading, they will provide a list of the farms, indicating where the wool came from and how much was provided by which farm.

As we only use a part of the Merino wool, we cannot know exactly which farm supplied our socks, but we know they are from one of the farms.

Our yarn factory only uses wool that is RWS-certified (Responsible Wool Standard), which means mulesing is prohibited. This is a critical requirement for RWS. RWS also ensure the wool meets rigorous animal welfare, land management and social requirements.

If you would like more details on the farms or sourcing, get in touch with us. 


Are They Suitable For Diabetics?
Unfortunately, due to our socks having compression tops they are not suitable as diabetic socks.
