High quality wool socks.

Helsingin villasukkatehdas Wool socks - High quality wool socks. Made with machines made in the 1950’s in a small factory free of mobile phones and other modern nonsense, these wool socks serve the same purpose as they always have: bringing you lots of cozy warmth and comfort.

To create the perfect user experience and a long service life, this sock is made with a blend of three different sheep type’s wool, each from New Zealand, and guaranteed mulesing-free. The polyamide component, again, increases durability.

  • 70% wool and 30% polyamide
  • Reinforced heel and tip
  • Hand washing is preferable, but 30°C machine wash is also possible
  • Made in Finland

Verraton is Finnish for good beyond comparison, and “varreton” means shaftless, or a vey low shaft.

And “Helsingin villasukkatehdas”? That stands for “Helsinki’s wool sock factory”.

Wool is a highly hygroscopic animal fiber - it can absorb up to 30 - 40% of its weight in moisture without feeling wet. As it absorbs water, it releases warmth. Thanks to this and its natural ability to bind in warm air, wool offers an excellent set of characteristics for use especially in cold conditions.
