Somerset Scandi Socks
£14.40
Somerset Scandi socks are unisex socks designed for everyday wear. These are ankle length socks with a ribbed cuff. The body has an Icelandic style design. The cuff, heel and toe are knitted in a solid colour.
These socks are knitted in yarn spun from British wools. Wool provides excellent insulation and wicking properties, keeping your feet warm and dry. The fleece was carefully sorted, spun and dyed in the UK. The socks have then been knitted to my 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.
These socks contain 75% wool. The remaining fibre is Nylon for stretch to give a good fit and improved wear. These natural fibres have not been superwash treated, so please remember to read the care information. The socks will shrink and felt if not washed & dried with care.
If you buy three or more pairs of the Somerset Scandi (any combination of sizes & colourways), they are only £11.50 per pair.
Description
Somerset Scandi Socks
Somerset Scandi socks are unisex socks designed for everyday wear. These are ankle length socks with a ribbed cuff. The body has an Icelandic style design. The cuff, heel and toe are knitted in a solid colour.
These socks are knitted in yarn spun from British wools. Wool provides excellent insulation and wicking properties, keeping your feet warm and dry. The initial batch of socks were made from British Blue Faced Leicester wool which is one of the softest British wools. The newer batches are knitted from a mixture of Blue Faced Leicester yarn and my Stanbury sock yarn or just the Stanbury yarn. The Stanbury yarn is spun from the fleeces of Exmoor Horn crossed with Blue Faced Leicester sheep. The description against the individual colourway tells you which yarans were used.
The fleece was carefully sorted, spun and dyed in the UK. The socks have then been knitted to my 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.
I have the following colour combinations:
Scarlet/ Natural Cream
Moss / Natural Cream
Grey / Natural Cream
Blue / Natural Cream
Rose/Natural Cream
The Scarlet/cream socks seem to have come up smaller than the other colours. I forgot to get the yarn waxed after dyeing and the red dye has affected the tension that the yarn is pulled through the knitting machine.
These socks contain 75% wool. The remaining fibre is Nylon for stretch to give a good fit and improved wear.
These natural fibres have not been superwash treated, so please remember to read the care information. The socks will shrink and felt if not washed & dried with care.
If you buy three or more pairs of the Somerset Scandi (any combination of sizes & colourways), they are only £11.50 per pair.

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.
