When washing wool socks, use warm water and a mild detergent. Avoid using hot water, bleach, or petroleum-based detergents. Soak them in warm water for 10-15 minutes before washing. If machine washing, use the gentle cycle and place the socks in a laundry bag to prevent abrasion. If your washing machine has a wool protection function, you can use that cycle directly.
After washing, air dry wool socks in a cool, well-ventilated place, avoiding direct sunlight or high-temperature tumble drying. If using a tumble dryer, select a low-temperature cycle. Store in a cool, dry place, avoiding damp environments. To reduce shrinkage, you can freeze the wool socks for a period of time before washing.
