21mile Socks | Lichen

Named after the journey the fibre takes — just 21 miles from recovered wool fibre to finished sock, all made in Yorkshire. The 21 Mile is a more robust everyday sock, built for year-round wear, longer days on your feet, and mixed UK conditions.

• More substantial by design — a structured crew sock with a slightly shorter leg than the 58 Mile.
• Secure, comfortable fit — a 3×1 rib through the leg and top of foot gives stretch, hold and comfort under laces.
• Built for harder use — a heavier-weight construction suited to work, walking, hiking and everyday active wear.

·       100% Merino lambswool

Air Wash™                  

Merino wool naturally resists odour, so it doesn’t need washing as often as many other fibres. Often the best way to refresh your socks is simply to air them between wears. Washing less saves water, energy and helps your socks last longer.

Care

Look after your socks and they’ll last...

• Machine wash at 30°C (86°F) on a wool or gentle cycle
• Use a mild wool detergent
• Dry flat

Merino wool and cashmere are delicate and can be damaged by other fabrics in the wash, so we recommend turning your socks inside out before washing to protect them

Too much heat and rough washing or spinning can shrink the socks and make them permanently stiff — you could hand them down to a smaller friend, but they won’t feel the same…

Avoid

• Do not bleach
• Do not tumble dry
• Do not iron
• Do not dry clean

Shoddy Wool  

These socks are made from shoddy — mechanically recycled wool. Like all wool, and especially shoddy, they can shrink if not cared for properly.

If they do get smaller, try putting them on your foot while still damp — you might be able to gently stretch them back to their original size.
