Washing wool socks requires a little extra care to avoid them shrinking or losing their shape. Here are some general washing tips for 75% wool and 25% nylon socks:
-
Hand wash recommended: Wash the socks by hand in cold water. Use a mild wool wash or a special detergent for wool. Avoid using hot water, as this can cause the wool to shrink.
-
Gentle machine wash cycle: If your washing machine has a special wool wash cycle and you want to machine wash the socks, be sure to use the cold or lukewarm setting. Use a mild detergent and place the socks in a laundry bag to avoid friction and damage.
-
Avoid strong detergents and bleaches: Do not use strong detergents or bleaches, as these can damage the wool and nylon. Instead, choose detergents that are specially designed for wool.
-
Avoid wringing or scrubbing: When hand washing, avoid wringing or scrubbing the socks. Gently squeeze out excess water without twisting them to preserve their shape.
-
Dry flat: Lay the socks flat on a towel to dry. Avoid hanging them, as the weight of the water can cause them to lose their shape. Dry them away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
-
Avoid dryers: Avoid using dryers, as the heat can shrink the wool and affect the nylon material. Wool socks keep their shape better if they are dried naturally.
-
Storage: Store your woolen socks in a dry and cool place. Avoid placing them in direct sunlight or in humid areas.
By following these two tips, your wool-nylon yarn will remain soft, warm and durable, and your needlework will bring joy and benefit for a long time to come.
