Classic Ribbed Socks, warm, breathable and mid calf length.
40% Possum, 50% Merino and 10% Nylon
New Zealand Possum fibre is the newest rare natural fibre in the world. It is one of the finest and softest fibres that nature produces, yet it has amazing characteristics.
Possum fibre is hollow so this garment is very light, but extremely warm for it's weight.
Blended with Merino wool, gives possum strength.
Possum fibre is only available from New Zealand where the possum runs wild in the native forest.
Sizing goes by foot measurement (heel to toe).
22.8cm - 24.1cm (9" - 9.5") Small
24.5cm - 26cm (9.6" - 10.2") Medium
26.7cm - 27.9cm (10.5" - 11") Large
28.6cm - 28.2cm (11.25 - 11.5") equals XL.
Care: Wash gently in cool water (never hot!) using a wool detergent. Spin in the washing machine and dry flat. Do not tumble dry. For all Possum Merino products we do recommend machine washing on a wool or delicate cycle over hand washing as this avoids the stretching/misshaping that can occur when agitating by hand in a tub.
The washing machine spin cycle also sheds most of the water as opposed to squeezing this out by hand which again can distort the shape of the item depending on the technique employed.
Under these circumstances hand washing is preferable as hot water is the natural enemy of wool!
