The Socks
The ultimate pair of hand-knitted classic cream Aran socks.
My husband bought me a pair for Christmas last year and I love them so much I knew I had to stock them!
They’re beautifully soft and slouchy, perfect for pottering around on a slow weekend or keeping legs cosy on chilly woodland walks.
Pair with a book to make someone with a hygge heart very happy.
- Size M - fits shoe sizes 5-7
- Handwash in cold water
- Also available in gingerbread
The Ethics
Ethically made in Nepal as part of the fair-trade programme, Bibico takes care in working with suppliers who pay their workers respect and a fair wage.
Made from mulesing-free wool.
Mulesing is the main source of cruelty in the wool industry. It’s a preventative surgical practice, often done without pain-relief, involving physical scarring to reduce the risk of life-threatening infections.
There are kinder, expensive alternatives, focused on slower rearing and farming practices. This is why mulesing-free wool might cost a bit extra.
A natural fibre, wool keeps you warm, is breathable and is biodegradable. It’s also a much more sustainable alternative to knitwear made from synthetic fibres.
