Cold toes are often the first thing to remind you that autumn has arrived. Wool socks from Lanullva are made for everyday life: mornings in the kitchen, daycare pickup, walks along the sea, long days in shoes that are not really made for wet autumn weather.
We use merino wool that is soft enough to sit directly against the skin all day, and the airy knitting method that Brit Vinje Lyngstad developed in the 1990s so that her husband Eilif would stay warm in Atlantic weather provides 30 percent more air pockets than regular wool knit. These air pockets are what keep feet warm without becoming clammy in boots.
Wool has a property that few other materials can match: it smells less than synthetic fibre, dries faster than cotton, and retains its insulation even when damp. That is why wool socks work just as well in rain-heavy western Norwegian weather as in dry mountain cold. The sock does not slip down, does not chafe the heel, and fits just as well in dress shoes as in trainers.
The wool is RWS-certified by Textile Exchange (responsible animal welfare and full traceability), Öko-Tex Standard 100-certified, and produced in European factories with proper working conditions. Wash on a wool cycle, lay flat to dry, and the socks stay with you for many years.
