COMFORTABLE

Slide your foot into the warm embrace of a blended cashmere merino wool sock. Who said that sustainable choices mean compromise? The wearer will be warm and will enjoy the snug fit of our gentle cuff. Each toe seam is linked by hand to give you a seamless finish for added comfort.

QUALITY

At first touch you will feel the opulence of the buttery soft knitted fabric. These socks bring centuries’ old UK craftsmanship together with excess wool sourced from mills around the UK. These well made socks come with their own mending kit to inspire you to buy less but buy better and to learn from the more sustainable ways of the past.

RICH COLOUR

Luxurious yarn that would otherwise have gone to waste has been transformed, without further dyeing, into an intense red, bright coloured pair of socks. A simple, classic rib design means the deep colour is the star of the show and can accessorise a vast range of outfits to suit your style.

Made from waste

  • Wool

    Rejected or surplus woollen yarn that is no longer serving a purpose is sourced, sorted by weight and colour and inspected to ensure its condition and quality. It then goes on to be tested for its strength and compatibility with the sock machine.

  •

    Econyl®

    This regenerated nylon is made from discarded fishing nets, carpets, and other post-consumer waste. It both "draws the sock in" and provides strength, possessing identical characteristics to new nylon while offering infinite recyclability.

  •

    Coffee cups

    CupCycling™ by James Cropper is the world’s first recycling process and award winning innovation dedicated to upcycling take-away coffee cups. Giving them a new life and turning them into beautiful luxury papers that we use for our packaging.

Beautiful socks

Bought for my partner who suffers with cold feet. She is amazed at how soft and warm they are. You don’t realise you are wearing socks they are so light. At least I know what to buy for presents now. Many thanks for a beautiful present.

My Beautiful Blue Socks

Beautiful socks, beautifully soft, beautifully made, beautifully packaged. My beautiful blue socks are as soft as cashmere but being made from “waste wool” are much more sustainable, less cruel and will last longer. Thank you Socko. Thank you Emma.

Lady in red socks

Now the madness of Christmas is over, put your poor tired tootsies up in a luxurious pair of Socko’s fine red socks. Their softness and warmth will keep you comfy 😊

Wonderful socks

These socks are the best of all things. The ribbed sock is comfortable and quite smart and then you have the looped back foot and heal which is just like a sports socks. As these are additional pairs, I can say that they wash and wear well too.
