Dilute your wool detergent in cool water (max 30oc which will feel luke-warm) in a bowl. For heavily-soiled areas, use a little gall soap on your woollens first, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Add your woollens to the bowl, gently stirring and squeezing the detergent through. Rinse using water at the same temperature, otherwise your wool will be subjected to "shock" and might felt up.
To dry, gently squeeze water out and wrap your wool clothes in a towel to remove the excess water.
Air-dry naturally avoiding direct heat. So, hanging on a drying rack over the bath is good, or on a clothes horse, or flat on a dry terry towel.
Re-shape while damp.
Hirsch Natur is a family business which was established in 1928 by Franz Kloppenborg, a restaurant owner who diversified into making work socks. The first machine were set up in the restaurant’s ballroom! The company is currently run by his great-grandson Matthias.While they made sturdy working socks at first, Hirsch Natur were pioneers of organic textiles. Their factory is certified to Global Organic Textile Standards (GOTS) and has received the “IVN-Best” certification. They produce 50% of their own energy sustainably through solar panels too. Enjoy the great design, natural fabrics and comfortable, healthy feel of socks and tights developed with care and expertise over generations.
"these socks are stronger than machine washable 100% wool socks, which is important for active young adults (my kids). personally i prefer Hirsch Natur Sports Danny trainer socks (the short version of this one) as i can wear dresses with trainers with these socks. please bring back Sports Danny version and also bring back the colours (yellow, green and red ones). thank you!"

Sizing: Feels true to size
I'd recommend this to a friend.
"i take size 40 or 40.5 shoes, so i thought this sock size would be perfect. sadly it wasn't, it was much too long, so that the heel ruches up and pools inside the shoe. I took to wearing them at home with slides, only to find that the ankle elastic is also much too tight. I don't have particularly thick ankles, but by the end of the day there is a notable dent in my ankle with bulges either side – unsightly and not a very good sign in terms of circulation. so, size down, i'd say, and even then these are best worn either by very skinny people or people with very hard muscles indeed."
This was worn by... a fit and well person in their prime (late 40s, i.e.!)
