Merino Wool Winter Socks — Non-Binding, Cushioned
Knitted wide from the ribbing down. The cuff opens to 10 in flat — 20 in around the leg, and relaxes back to shape.
Choose your pack
- Non-binding top — no elastic band. Ten inches laid flat, twenty inches around the leg, and it relaxes back to shape.
- Flat-linked toe — no seam sitting across the top of the foot.
- Cushioned sole — padding under the heel and forefoot, where the pressure lands.
- Knitted wide — US 9-11, 10-13 and 13-15, wide from the ribbing down rather than a standard sock with a looser top.
What does non-binding actually mean?
Most socks get their grip from a band of elastic sewn into the top. Ours do not have one. The stretch is knitted into the ribbing, so it holds its shape, relaxes back after wear, and does not dig in.
How wide does the top stretch?
Ten inches laid flat, which is twenty inches around the leg. Lay the top flat and stretch it: it opens to 10 inches across, then returns to shape rather than staying stretched out. To check before ordering, measure your calf at its widest point and compare it to the 20-inch figure.
What sizes do you make?
US 9-11, 10-13 and 13-15 across this range. 13-15 is the largest size we knit.

What they are made of
76% Merino Wool,13% Polyester, 10% Nylon, 1%Spandex.
Machine wash warm, tumble dry low. No bleach, no fabric softener - softener coats the fibre and stops it wicking.
Cold mornings are the test. These pass it.
76% merino wool, knit for the months when the boots come out and stay out. Merino holds warmth without bulk, moves moisture away from the skin, and resists odour naturally — so a pair handles a full day outdoors and is ready to go again tomorrow.
Why merino
Wool fibre traps air, and trapped air is what keeps heat in. Merino does it with a fibre fine enough to sit against skin without the scratch of traditional wool. It also takes up moisture vapour before it turns into damp — which is why merino still feels warm in conditions where cotton has given up.
Built for winter wear
- 76% merino wool blend — with 13% polyester, 10% nylon and 1% spandex for shape retention and durability
- Non-binding top — a relaxed stretch cuff that stays up without a tight elastic ring
- Anti-balloon knit — holds its shape through the day instead of bagging out at the ankle
- Cushioned underfoot — extra padding where boots and pavement do the most work
- Naturally odour-resistant — merino's fibre structure slows odour build-up between washes
