- FAQ:
- What do you mean when you say 100% Merino virgin wool?
- 100% virgin wool is virgin because it comes straight from the sheep--not trimmings or leftovers recycled from the processing of other wool fabrics.
- This allows us to use the longest fibers to weave our fabrics, which is important because longer fibers are inherently stronger than shorter fibers. This makes it unnecessary for us to blend synthetic fibers such as nylon or polyester into our wool to make it stronger. Thus, we believe our 100% virgin wool is more resilient and long lasting than wool blends, and you get the full benefit of the wool fibers working for you. Merino wool is known in the trade for its extra-long, extra-fine fibers that spin into a very strong, yet very soft yarn that many people can wear against their skin.
- What is the importance of worsted yarns?
- Worsted wool yarns are twisted as they are spun, to create a tighter, more durable and long-lasting material. Many people find worsted wool to be more comfortable against their skin, because worsted fabrics have a smooth surface.
- Do you offer a temperature chart for your lightweight, mid-weight, and heavyweight socks?
- We do not offer a temperature chart for our socks because their warmth will differ from one person to another, depending on a person's metabolism and other factors.
- Our heavyweight socks could be described as expedition weight. They are obviously intended for the coldest conditions, and they have the greatest cushioning because they are so thick.
- Our mid-weight socks are still very warm, but can be worn in a wider variety of conditions. They are not quite as thick as our heavyweight socks, but still offer superior cushioning for hiking, skiing, and other activities.
- Our lightweight socks are very flexible because they are so thin. You might think that wool socks would be too warm for spring and summer, but temperature control and wicking ability are two often-overlooked advantages of wool, and our lightweight socks can be worn virtually all year round.
- Is your Merino wool water repellent?
- Wool is naturally water repellent, and more importantly, it will retain heat even when wet. 100% virgin wool will absorb up to 30% of its own weight in moisture without becoming damp or clammy. On top of that, our socks, gloves, and long johns have a worsted finish, which means that the surface has even greater capacity to turn away moisture.
- How noisy is wool in the woods?
- Wool is very quiet--it doesn't make noise as you walk through brush or ground cover, which is greatly valued by hunters in particular.
