Based in Northumberland, Capricorn Mohair Socks source local Mohair from Angora goats. The fleece is then spun into yarn, knitted and dyed. All this is undertaken in the UK, keeping the miles the product travels down to the bare minimum. Capricorn say that their mohair socks will probably be the best socks you will ever buy. Due to Mohair's unique properties, the socks made from this luxury fibre have all the features that you want in a pair of socks. Warm, comfortable, hard wearing, machine washable and they don't smell after use! Mohair is a fibre that is well known for its properties of warmth and comfort. It therefore produces socks that are ideal when you want warm and comfortable feet. Mohair is a very hard wearing fibre and is used for fabrics in aircraft seats for this reason. You can wash your Mohair socks in a washing machine on a warm wool wash cycle, without worrying about excessive shrinkage. If you look at wool under a microscope you see little burrs. These burrs provide a hiding place for bacteria that make wool socks smell. Mohair is a smooth fibre and has no hiding places for bacteria and that is why Mohair Socks do not smell!! |
