Properties Of Wool Socks

What distinguishes wool socks and places them ahead of other sock fabrics? We can easily say it is their unique properties, some of which are listed below. 

1. Breathable: This might sound unusual because breathing is a characteristic only associated with living things, but in this context, it is different. Wool socks can breathe, which is how they expel and absorb heat to ensure the feet are cold or warm in different weather. 

1. Thermal regulation: This property was hinted at above. Compared to socks of other fabrics, wool is the most efficient at regulating temperature based on the temperature change in the environment. Hence, with wool, you are assured of the comfort of warm feet in cold and normal temperatures in hot weather.
   
   
2. Wool is fire resistant: This might sound unusual, given that almost every material can be destroyed by fire. However, compared to various socks from other fabrics, wool has high-heat resistance making it less likely to be destroyed by fire. Evidence of this statement can also be found in how most fire blankets are made from wool.
   
   
3. Merino wool is sustainable: You may not have known this but merino wool is biodegradable, meaning it will break down naturally in the environment. It’s also renewable and a low-impact fibre as it requires less energy and water to produce than synthetic fibres. making it a more environmentally friendly choice!
