Women's XL Wicked Short

These socks are made using Retrosaria Mondim sock yarn which is minimally processed and animal friendly.

All Rosa Pomar yarns are non superwash, not bleached and have no silicone based softeners. All wool comes from free range sheep. Mulesing is not practiced in Portugal.

Fun Fact: This yarn is named after a Portuguese village once famous for its sock knitting cottage industry.   

These heel tab, shorties have a shorter cuff, allowing the sock to sit lower in the shoe, making it less visible.

Non-superwash merino is wool in its natural state, retaining all the tiny scales that make wool, wool.

These wool socks are favored by some for the authentic feel and the slightly superior insulating properties of non-superwash wool. 

With fewer chemicals involved, non-superwash can be seen as a more eco friendly option.

Because the wool is left in a more natural state, many people also find them to have more of wool’s natural anti-microbial (anti-stink!) properties, making frequent washing less necessary.

Some cons of non-superwash, nylon free yarn is primarily durability.  While nylon free sock yarns try to be more durable, natural fibers will never be as durable as plastic.  The scales on natural wool, that lend it character also mean that it’s prone to felting if not cared for meticulously. 

**These socks require hand washing to avoid felting and shrinkage. Lay flat to dry. **
