Why you'll love it

Icelandic wool keeps working when dampThe fleece of the Icelandic sheep has long outer fibres that shed water and a fine inner layer that traps warmth, so the socks stay warm in a boot that has let in slush.
A rib that stays upThe ribbed leg grips the calf on its own: no elastic band to dig in or give out after a winter of washing.
Knitted in Varma's own factoryVarma knits these in Reykjavík and says every piece it makes is 100% made in Iceland.
The sock that gets wornPlain black in three sizes: the Iceland present that goes into daily use rather than a drawer, for a husband, a son or yourself.

Questions people ask before they buy

Which size should I order?

Go by your European shoe size and pick the band it falls in: 36–39, 40–43 or 44–47. The ribbed leg and the knit both stretch, so a size at either end of a band still fits.

How do they feel on?

Thick and springy underfoot, closer to a slipper sock than a dress sock. Icelandic wool has a bounce that holds a layer of warm air, so the socks stay lofty instead of packing flat, and the rib keeps the leg up without a tight band.

Do they work in boots?

Yes, that is what they are for: hiking boots, rubber boots and winter shoes. Allow for the thickness in a snug shoe; there they are a house sock instead.

Do they come in other colours?

Varma knits the same sock in grey marl, a royal blue and an oatmeal beige, all on this site in the same three sizes.

Who makes them?

Varma, the wool brand of Glófi ehf. in Reykjavík, a factory knitting Icelandic wool since 1926. Varma calls this its original Icelandic wool sock, made the way it has always been made.
