Somerset Loose-Top Socks
Somerset Loose-Top Socks are unisex, ankle length socks knitted in the same style as my Alpaca Loose Tops. They are designed for everyday wear for both men and women. In place of a ribbed cuff, which may be uncomfortable for some, they have a ribbed body and a plain foot.
These socks are knitted from my Somerset Sock yarn, which I have also used in the Somerset Marl, Somerset Contrasts and Somerset Shorties. The Somerset Sock yarn is a blend of British alpaca and Blue Faced Leicester wool from the North of England. This naturally oatmeal coloured fibre was spun and organically dyed in England. I find that alpaca and wool provide a really good blend of fibres for insulation, comfort and wicking properties, keeping your feet warm and dry. The socks’ lightweight construction means they can be worn all year round.
These socks are knitted to our specifications by a traditional, family run sock manufacturer in the Midlands.
There are three unisex sizes, small (shoe size 4-7), medium (8-10) and large (11-13). For EU Shoe Sizes and foot sizes, please see the Sizing Guide on every product page.
There are six solid colours available: Dark Grey, Damson, Green, Natural Oatmeal, Madder Red and Dark Navy Blue. As the naturally coloured yarn has been over-dyed, the lighter socks have a slightly marled appearance.
Composition: 27.5% Alpaca / 27.5% Blue Faced Leicester wool / 45% nylon. The nylon content provides enough stretch to give a good fit and enables the socks to stay up.
I use natural fibres which haven’t been superwash treated, so please remember to read the care information.

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.
