The Evolution of Atlas: A Breeding (and Chat) Thread

Great socks are no joke! I have purchased them and found they're awful so a waste of money. I've bought what was supposed to be wool and they were minimally wool These have almost a sherpa lining, got them at TJ Maxx. Should have bought more. I like your socks! Do you have to hand wash them? I guess I should, but I don't, but then, I don't have any good wool socks, only posers.

No, I don’t hand wash them, but I’ve started air drying them, as our very enthusiastic gas dryer, the Shrink-O-Matic, does a bit too good of a job.

These aren’t 100% wool, and there’s enough other fibers to hold them together well. Wool content and sock thickness vary, which you can filter for.

AND, the clincher:

I gave myself four new pairs of Darn Tough wool socks for Christmas. Recently they’ve only come off for sleeping and the shower. Worth every penny! AND they sell women’s large sizes.

Darn Tough socks are great!

I bought these recently just for silliness. They’re only 45% merino wool, so they’ll have to wait for spring, but I couldn’t resist. I bought them in both yellow and blue :
