Adult's Starry Fair-Isle Socks in Organic Wool

"I was disappointed because everything else I've purchased from this shop has been of superb quality. These socks were great for the first month or two, and then they shrunk and fell apart-- holes appeared and grew and then they were done for. I washed them in cold water in a lingerie bag and dried them on a drying rack. I thought I was taking good care of them but apparently not."

This was washed... washing ruined them :-(

This was worn by... myself (an adult with small feet)

Sizing: Feels true to size

I wouldn't really recommend this to a friend.

"I bought these as Christmas presents for family last year, and they have all worn them lots and are still really enjoying them. They still look in great condition - no sign of holes yet, unlike most other socks!!"

This was washed... These are always hand washed and have lasted really well

Sizing: Feels true to size

I'd recommend this to a friend.

"I wanted to stay warm and comfortable while working during lockdown. These socks were perfect."

This was washed... I They need handwashing and I was devastated when one accidentally was machine washed at 30C. After stretching it was great to find it still fits.

"Lovely soft wool socks, not thick so I can wear in most of my shoes. Warm for cold days but also not hot on warmer days."

This was washed... not needed washing yet

This was worn by... a middle-aged woman with notoriously cold feet

Sizing: A little generous

I'd recommend this to a friend.

"Last Yule, these were bought for my wife. They fitted well (she has longer than average feet because she's 6'2" tall) they keep her feet warm, which is important because the blood seems to cool quickly as it passes down her long legs so her feet tend to be too cold for her but not with these socks. They look great and survive washing even though they are washed much more than recommended by Cambridge Baby.
Why only 4 stars and not five? That's because I'm a tightwad so harbour some resentment at the price of the socks but the wife's worth it."

This was washed... washed fine

This was worn by... My wife

Sizing: Feels true to size

I'd recommend this to a friend.

"These are beautiful socks andwill come into their own in the spring. For now I struggle to divest myself of the chunky version."
