An ankle-height toe sock in Australian merino, which holds temperature in both directions, blended with organic cotton and a trace of enclosed spandex. Most merino socks are a third nylon; this one is not. Shown in undyed natural.
Materials
80% Australian Merino Wool / 15% Organic Cotton / 5% BPA-Free Spandex (minimum necessary for fit, completely enclosed in natural fibers). Machine Wash Cold, Hang to Dry (Treat these like a wool sweater. Because there's no nylon, they will shrink and become less durable in the dryer.)
The Merino Wool Everyday Mini Crew Toe Socks are 80% merino, 15% organic cotton, 5% elastane. Merino is fine enough to feel soft, regulates temperature without synthetic finishes. Organic cotton is grown without synthetic pesticides, a soft, breathable everyday plant fiber. That composition is what Toxome scores, and it earns 80 out of 100 on the fiber scale, where 100 is cleanest. This piece carries OEKO-TEX Standard 100, which covers how the fiber was grown and processed, not just what it is.

FAQ
What are the Merino Wool Everyday Mini Crew Toe Socks made of?
They are 80% merino, blended with 15% organic cotton and 5% elastane.
Is merino safe to wear?
Merino is fine enough to feel soft, regulates temperature without synthetic finishes. Toxome rates every fiber on what it does to the body of the person wearing it, and publishes the reasoning rather than a badge. The score covers the fiber, not the dyes and finishes a mill adds later.
How does Toxome score clothing?
Toxome reads each garment's fiber composition and scores it on what that fiber does to your body, not on a brand's sustainability marketing. A higher score means a cleaner fiber. Composition is taken from what the brand publishes, so the score reflects the label rather than our opinion of it.
