The Beauty of Natural Fibres – Why Your Feet Deserve the Best
If you’re looking for comfort and luxury combined into a single pair of socks, nothing can beat natural fibres. Here at the Cambridge Sock Company, we believe your feet deserve the best, which is why only the finest natural fibres are selected to make our socks.
From using luxury merino and cashmere wool, to premium mohair and alpaca fleece, each of these beautiful natural fibres are soft, breathable, and sustainable. But most importantly, they make the ideal choice for anyone looking to indulge their feet.
The Magic of Merino Wool
Often hailed as one of the finest natural fibres, merino wool is a perfect choice for socks. Lightweight and breathable, merino socks are known for their ability to regulate temperature, keeping your feet warm in winter and cool in summer. You really can wear them any day of the year!
When it comes to comfort, merino wool provides this in spades. Produced using the soft, fine fibres from merino sheep, merino wool won’t rub or irritate the skin, so are less likely to cause blisters. Plus, unlike traditional wool, merino wool is ideal for those with allergies or sensitive skin.
One of the best things about choosing merino wool socks are their natural moisture-wicking properties. This magic material naturally draws sweat away from the skin, reducing friction and discomfort. Combined with its natural anti-bacterial properties, wearing merino wool socks will keep your feet fresh and dry all day long.
Why Alpaca Fleece Has It All
Sumptuously soft and light, yet strong and durable, it could be argued that alpaca socks have it all. Whilst these premium natural fibre socks will keep your feet comfortable all day long, they are robust-enough to last through many washes and wears.
Like merino wool, alpaca fleece stands out both as a luxurious natural fibre, but also for its hypoallergenic properties. In fact, unlike traditional wool, alpaca socks do not contain lanolin, making it ideal for individuals with sensitive skin or allergies.
And, with its natural insulating properties, alpaca fibre helps regulate body temperature, keeping your feet warm in the winter and cool in the summer.
Mohair: A Luxurious Material
Often referred to as the “noble fibre”, mohair is world-renowned for its exceptional strength, lustre, and breathability.
This luxurious natural fibre has several exceptional qualities. Firstly, mohair is incredibly durable and resistant to wear. So, whether you're wearing mohair socks for outdoor adventures or simply lounging at home, they’ll maintain their shape incredibly well over time.
Just like merino and alpaca natural fibre socks, mohair socks are breathable and have natural moisture-wicking properties. They can be worn inside boots or shoes without the worry of friction or overheating.
But it’s the softness of this natural fibre which makes it so popular. Wearing a pair of mohair socks will guarantee day-long comfort, whatever you get up to.
Cashmere
Cashmere is prized for its unparalleled softness, warmth, and elegance, and this exceptional natural fibre boasts several remarkable qualities.
Firstly, cashmere is incredibly lightweight yet highly insulating, providing superior warmth without adding bulk. So, whether you're wearing cashmere socks on a chilly winter morning or relaxing at home, they’ll keep your feet perfectly snug.
Just like merino and mohair socks, cashmere socks are breathable and naturally moisture-wicking, ensuring your feet stay dry and comfortable throughout the day. Their natural elasticity also allows for a snug, non-restrictive fit that won’t sag over time.
But it’s the sumptuously soft texture of cashmere that makes it truly special. Slipping into a pair of cashmere socks guarantees day-long comfort and indulgence, no matter where your day takes you.
At the Cambridge Sock Company, we pride ourselves on offering natural fibre socks that not only feel luxurious but are comfortable, and durable.
So why not indulge your feet in the natural comfort and beauty of these fibres, and experience the difference in every step?
