From our Renew Collection and Merino + Hemp range, our 'Echidna’ ribbed, loose top Merino + Hemp socks are comfortable on your feet, and kind to the environment.

While they do not score high on the durability scale, as we have removed all elastic and nylon from our 'Echidna' socks, and finished the socks with our statement blue silk toe seam, they can be composted when no longer repairable.

The timeless ribbed knit provides superior comfort and improved airflow, keeping you cool in summer and warm in winter. 

Made from a blend of merino wool and hemp, these socks naturally wick away moisture from your skin, reducing the likelihood of smelly feet, and the need to wash the socks after every wear. 

Our 'Echidna’ socks should be paired with snug, well-fitted sneakers, or they will wear out quite quickly. The absence of elastic and nylon also may cause the sock to become baggy on the foot, when worn as house or bed socks, or with loose fitting shoes.

Fibre Composition: Merino Wool: 96.5% Hemp: 3.5%

Merino Wool: 96.5% Hemp: 3.5%

Please wash before use - cold machine wash or cold hand wash only. Wool is a natural fibre and heat may cause shrinkage. Do not tumble dry and do not dry near heat source. Do not iron. If socks begin to feel tight, stretch them out while they are wet.

The products we've selected are made to be worn —beautifully and often, year after year. To help them last, follow these general guidelines:

  • While our pieces are crafted to be durable, they’ll appreciate a gentle touch.
  • Most items can be spot cleaned with a soft cloth, mild/wool detergent and warm water. Avoid harsh abrasives or prolonged soaking unless otherwise noted.
  • Always check the individual product care labels
  • Avoid sudden changes in temperature (like straight from warm to cold water) to prevent thermal shock.
  • Always store knits folded. Avoid hanging pants on hanger clips long term.
