Hand-knitted socks made of quality Slovak sheep’s wool will delight not only during the cold winter months, but will also be appreciated by experienced hikers on long mountain hikes. The properties of sheep’s wool are truly unique. These socks will keep you warm in winter, cool in summer and also maintain a feeling of dryness even when wet.
The sheep’s wool comes from western and central Slovakia and is hand-dyed. Thanks to the dry heat, they are healing and do not absorb odours, while they also massage nerve endings and therefore have a beneficial effect on the skin.
