Merino Wool Socks produced by HICON

Merino Wool Socks Supplier With RWS Certified Wool

Year-round merino crew and boot socks for hiking, work and outdoor lifestyle ranges, available on an RWS certified wool route.

The Brief

What This Category Has To Get Right

Merino is the reason a sock can be worn three days without smelling and still regulate temperature in both summer and winter. Our merino sock program covers crew and boot heights in high merino content blends, with a Responsible Wool Standard route for brands that need to prove where the wool came from.

Problems We Solve

What Goes Wrong Without A Specialist

  • Merino content claimed on the label that does not match the blend in the sock
  • Wool that cannot be traced back to a certified farm group when a retailer asks
  • Socks too warm for summer and too thin for winter because the gauge was never specified
  • Odour complaints from end users on synthetic-heavy blends

FAQ

FAQ About Merino Wool Socks

What merino content can you knit?

Our current merino sock styles run from 35% merino in a kids ski sock blend up to 75% merino in a men's and women's boot sock. Content above that is a development question rather than a stock answer, so send the target and we will confirm.

Is your wool RWS certified?

Yes. Shanghai Hicon Industrial Co., Ltd holds Intertek scope certificate ITS-TE-00027792-RAF-00038200 for Responsible Wool Standard 2.2, covering socks and hosiery in men's and women's apparel.

Why blend merino with nylon and elastane?

Pure merino has poor abrasion resistance and no recovery. Nylon carries the wear in heel and toe, and elastane keeps the cuff and arch band in shape through repeated wash cycles.

Can you match a competitor sock we send you?

Send the physical sample. We will report back the blend, gauge and construction we can reproduce, and flag anything in it that we would not recommend repeating.
