| Fair Isle Wool Socks: Choose these if you want a warm, crew-length knit sock in a wool blend (61% wool with polyamide and a touch of spandex) that features multicolor Fair Isle bands with contrasting solid heel, toe, and cuff, plus stretch ribbed edging. They come in a one-size fit in Sand and Mint/Pistachio Green colorways, and are a Simons exclusive designed in Canada and made in Portugal.[1,2] | 1840 Wool Socks Our History, Our Heritage Collection Unisex: Choose this if you want warm, thick wool socks for fall and winter wear indoors or out—reviews describe cozy warmth without itch or sweat, and some reviewers say the blend suits people who overheat in typical wool socks. Made of pure recycled lambswool (63% wool) with a ribbed cuff, Fair Isle–style pattern, and embroidered leaf, they're also popular as gifts, per reviews. Note that reviews report the socks running small and painfully tight—especially the green patterned colorway—so larger feet or high insteps may struggle to pull them on.[3] | Heathered Wool Ped Socks Made In Portugal: Choose these low-cut ped socks if you want a wool-rich everyday option: the 62% wool blend is described as breathable enough for all-day walking, warm in closed shoes, and even comfortable for some wearers in warm weather, with built-in arch support and durability through repeated washes. Note they come in one size that reportedly runs large out of the package; most wearers say they shrink to a stay-put fit after a wash or dryer cycle, but a minority report persistent bunching, especially on smaller or narrower feet.[4] |
