Hirsch Natur - Organic Wool Newborn Socks

100 percent GOTS organic wool from Patagonia Merino Sheep

Tiny elastic bands are woven into the sock at the top and around the ankle to prevent slippage.

Ethically made in Germany

Hirsch Natur:

Sustainability is part of our company concept.

We therefore prefer to source our raw materials from organic sources

Wool can absorb a lot of moisture without feeling wet (up to 1/3 of its dry weight!). On the surface of the fibers there are fine scales that form felt-like, voluminous structures with neighboring fibers. This results in air-filled cavities that insulate very well and buffer moisture.

When wool comes into contact with sweat, an acidic environment develops. This inhibits the development of bacteria and fungi and tightens and strengthens the skin, so you don't get blisters as quickly when running.

Anyone who keeps sheep organically has a special attitude towards their animals and their work. Organic farmers rely on species-appropriate and healthy husbandry practices.

Only organic feed is used - there are no preventive pesticide treatments.

Every pair of our socks allows you to experience our careful working methods up close.

True to size or a little on the larger size for growth. We recommend getting the shoe size your child is currently wearing for the best fit and longevity of the sock.

Hand wash with a quality wool wash (like Disana's wool wash). Use the same temperature wash water as the rinse water - ideally cool to lukewarm water.

Roll in a towel to press our water.

Air dry.

Untreated, virgin wool socks (without super wash or plasticizers) - need much less washing than traditional socks. They can be rotated and washed about once a month if needed.

For the longevity of wool socks we recommend rotating them. We have found that having 3 pairs of wool socks is ideal for a longer lasting wool sock rotation. Letting them air and "rest" in between wears adds to their longevity.
