House of Cheviot's renowned Merino wool blend socks have a beautiful chestnut tone. These socks are designed, knitted, and hand finished in Scotland with a blend of 85% Merino wool, 10% nylon reinforcement, and 5% Lycra. When washing, turn the socks inside out and use a wool-friendly detergent on a 30-degree cycle; do not tumble dry - instead, lay them flat to dry. Long socks - can be worn over the knee.
