Wool liner socks ( where to get! )

[Chris the Cat]

Or at least 80/%!
Interestingly, the Smartwool ones are only about 65%, quite surprised at that.
I have the best collection of thick wool socks, but my liners are wearing out and I am in great need!

Cheers cats.

I would've thought any thin normal dress sock would do for a liner, there's loads out there, I'm thinking M&S etc

Something like this ..

Standards are declining!
No wonder M&S are struggling in the clothing market....

So, what would be the lowest acceptable ratio of wool to to other fibres?

i use these

not the cheapest but excellent quality. Have moved all my socks over to teko over the last year.

Around 80% for me, I like 100, but don't mind slightly less.

best.

How long lasting are they with that much wool?

 

[Chris the Cat]

Better than you would think tl,
I like the way some of my 100% socks 'felt down'
My wife is great at darning ( and is going to teach me! ) which can keep them going.
But I have a lot of different weight wool socks, so they get plenty of rotation!
My every day socks are 80%.

Best.

Chris.

Yeah, I have thick socks with lots of wool or 100 per cent wool and love them, just wondered how well the thinner ones fare. The ones Mr Thrills flagged up seem good and a decent price too.
