Hand Washing Wool Socks

If your socks are Hand Wash Only, then hand wash in clean, lukewarm water, approximately 30°C, using a mild and gentle detergent. Allow to soak for a period of 10 minutes before rinsing thoroughly firstly in lukewarm water, then finally in cold water. Remember, if in doubt, hand wash is the best option.
Fill a basin with warm water just enough to cover the socks. As the wool is delicate, use a very mild detergent. Submerge the socks in the water and allow them to soak for 5 minutes. Rinse with warm water until the detergent is washed away.
