Grödo of Germany 

These Organic Merino Wool Socks are made from GOTS-certified organic merino wool.  There is elastic twined within the wool thread in the ankle portion to help them sit snugly.

Wool's natural fibers breathe, maintaining a comfortable temperature in warmth or cold. It absorbs moisture and feels warm, even when damp.   Wool's intrinsic properties inhibit foot odor. 

Sizing

 If you are uncertain of your European size, please refer to sizing conversion chart.   These tend to run large, so you may consider one size down (for example for shoe size 39, 37-38 might fit better).  They can tolerate machine wash on a delicate cycle, but will shrink in the dryer!  

Our Fall order is typically sent from Germany the first week in September, but now all shipments are on hold until the tariff situation is sorted out.  We have no idea when we might be able to get these products nor what the final cost will be for us.  So until then, what we have in stock is all that is available.  Thank you for understanding. 

More about Grödo ... 

 To maintain the health and longevity of your garments, organic wool is best washed by hand.  Many modern woolen items are treated with chemicals to allow them to tolerate machine-washing.  Certified organic wool does not contain such chemicals.  Some washing machines have a special wool-cycle, which maintains a lukewarm water temperature throughout the wash and rinse cycle, as well as minimizing agitation of the garment, which can lead to felting / shrinking.  However, wool does not need to be washed each time it is worn - simply air out overnight and they are fresh in the morning.  Can be worn for extended periods without need for washing. 

We recommend hand-washing with Kookaburra Wool Wash. 

  or LANACare Lanolin Soap with even more lanolin, 7.5%. The higher lanolin content is recommended for nursing pads & diaper covers, or to add even more softness to your woolens and to prolong the self-cleansing properties of the wool.
