British army socks

Hi I have recently bought a few pairs of the arctic socks, does anyone know what they are made from, I think its wool but am not sure if its a blend or if they are safe in the tumble dryer.

Cheers

Chris

I've tumble dried mine and they've been fine, I tumble dry my smartwool ones to and I've not had any problems.

Not particularly scientific but I just put them in the wash as normal for Mrs redandshane to do her worst with and they have survived this includes tumble drying
NB I do insist on washing some of my stuff myself if I fear for its safety if subjected to the rigors of the family wash.

I do the laundry here, don't want any mistakes

Personally all my wool garments are washed at 30 degrees, non bio soap/detergent, normally Ecover, if I ever tumbled wool it would be on a low heat.

You think the army lads worry about what wash they out their socks on? ...

Theyre just glad they actually wash them lol...

just put them on wet and site with your feet in front of the fire , and enjoy watching the steam rise
