Caring for Your 100% British Wool Socks
Our Jemsox 100% British Wool Boot Socks are made using pure British wool - a natural, durable and breathable fibre chosen for its warmth and performance.
To ensure your socks continue to look great and perform season after season, we recommend following the care guidance below.
Why Proper Wool Care Matters
British wool is naturally resilient, temperature regulating and moisture wicking. However, as a 100% natural fibre, it benefits from gentle washing and minimal heat exposure.
Caring for your wool socks correctly will:
We design our British wool socks with durability and heritage quality in mind.
With simple care - washing at 30°C, using the right detergent, air drying, and occasional de-pilling - your socks will continue to deliver warmth, comfort and performance for years to come.
Washing Instructions
For best results, please follow these care steps:
Always wash your socks at 30 degrees. Higher temperatures can cause wool fibres to shrink or felt, which may affect fit and texture.
Choose a detergent specifically designed for wool or delicate fabrics. Avoid standard biological detergents, as these can weaken natural fibres over time.
Washing inside out:
Do not tumble dry. Instead, reshape while damp and allow to dry naturally, ideally laid flat. Excess heat can cause shrinkage and compromise fibre structure.
Understanding Pilling in Pure Wool
With 100% wool socks, some light pilling may appear after the first few wears. This is completely normal and occurs when small surface fibres rise due to friction - particularly when worn inside boots.
Pilling does not indicate poor quality. In fact, it is common with natural wool yarns and usually settles after initial use.
A fabric or pilling comb can be used occasionally to refresh the appearance of your socks.
Gently glide the comb across the surface to remove loose fibres and reduce visible bobbling. This quick maintenance step helps restore a smoother finish and keeps your socks looking well cared for.
