Description

The Exmoor Sock – British made luxury in wool

The Exmoor sock is a warm, comfy, loose-topped, ankle length socks for everyday wear.  This is a unisex sock for everyday which is quite loosely knitted without a cushion sole so it’s not designed as a walking sock.

My Exmoor sock yarn is spun by John Arbon at his mill from local Exmoor sheep.  British wool is an excellent fibre for socks as its ability to absorb moisture keeps feet warm and dry. The yarn is dyed in Yorkshire and then knitted to our specifications by a traditional, family run sock manufacturer in the UK Midlands. You can see photographs of the processes we use on our Facebook page.

There are three unisex sizes, small (shoe size 4-7), medium (8-10) and large (11-13).  We have also introduced an extra small (3-4) and an extra large size (13-14) in some of the colourways.  The extra large are the same width as the large size, but the foot is longer. Similarly, the extra small is the same width as the small, but with a shorter foot length.   For EU Shoe Sizes and foot sizes, please see the Sizing Guide on every product page.

We plan to have eight colourways available. Each sock has a main colour with contrast heel, toe and top band. We introduce new colours each year, but this sometimes means that we have some extra colourways as we knit up the yarn left from colours we are retiring.

This year, we have introduced new colours, Ivy and Violet and the colourways are:
Aqua / Orange
Aubergine / Blue
Blue / Orange
Indigo / Mustard
Ivy / Violet
Violet / Mustard
Mustard / Aqua
Ivy/Aubergine
Violet/Ivy
Orange/Ivy

Buy three or more pairs for £12.60 per pair – your choice of colours. If you don’t mind which colourways you receive, have a look at our Exmoor 3 Pair offer. 

Composition: 60% Exmoor Blueface wool / 25% British wool /  15% Nylon. The nylon content provides enough stretch to give a good fit.

For Sock of the Month, our multi-buy offer is reduced to only £11 per pair (for three or more pairs).

Care Information
Our natural fibre, unisex socks are kinder to your feet than synthetic alternatives, but this means they need a gentle wash. We recommend our alpaca and wool socks are gently hand washed and rinsed in tepid water, squeezing gently rather than wringing.  A vigorous machine wash (whatever the temperature) with too much detergent or long spin, may result in shrinkage.

Leave to dry naturally and do not put in a tumble dryer.
