Are Merry People socks machine-washable?Updated a year ago

Absolutely. Just remember to turn your socks inside-out. Keep the water temperature cool or warm. No fabric softeners. And air-drying is recommended.

Wash and Care Instructions:

  1. Turn the socks inside out.
  2. Machine wash is fine. Use the wool or gentle cycle and keep the water cool or warm at best. Sheep don't like hot water, so the wool may shrink if the water is steaming. 
  3. If you must use soap, keep it mild. No bleach, no fabric softner. Both will reduce your sock's ability to manage moisture and your body temperature. 
  4. You can tumble dry on a low setting, but we recommend air-drying. It's better for your merry socks and the place we call home.
  5. Lastly, pilling is natural with delicate fibres like Merino wool. In fact, it's the sign of an intricately woven, quality product.
