The Recycled Range product names are inspired by lockdown pastimes, we thought the Green and Grey should be called the Gardener.


Our Recycled Range is made from 50% pre-consumer garment cutting waste cotton, such as t-shirts offcuts, which is colour sorted and spun with 33% polyester from recycled plastic bottles to create an innovative, high quality yarn. The remaining 17% comes when we plate our socks with ECONYL® regenerated nylon that is made from fishing nets and other nylon waste for added durability.


Any 3 pairs from this range for £40. Price automatically updated at checkout.

Made from waste

  • Cotton

    100% cotton t-shirt offcuts are colour sorted and ground down to be re-spun into a sock knitting yarn. This process helps reduce waste and minimise the environmental impact of textile production.

  • Polyester

    The long staple fibres that hold the cotton waste together are made from recycled PET bottles. The resulting yarn is soft, durable, and comfortable to wear, making it perfect for creating high-quality socks.

  • Carpet fluff used to make ECONYL® regenerated nylon

    Econyl®

    We use regenerated nylon from fishing nets, carpet and other post-consumer waste to give our socks stretch and durability. It has the same properties as virgin nylon but is infinitely recyclable.

Funky, comfortable and sustainable. What's not to like?

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review Rebecca - it's great to hear they're a winner for you :)

Love these socks!

Warm but light, not too tight around the ankle. Really nice colours

I'm so pleased you said that Anna because I know the photo makes the ankle look very narrow. Here's to socks that stay up without being too tight!

The socks were a gift for my partner (who is better and more consistent than me at all things sustainable, but also has generally appaling socks), they have been commented on by her as being exceedingly good, well made and comfortable! The packaging too was all very well considered and the support on how to darn is helpful and encouraging.

Thank you for your kind words Rupert. I'm so pleased to hear that they went down well with your partner and that they are step in the right direction to combatting the 'appaling' socks
