GRÖDO Baby Organic Wool Socks, Thin

Grödo of Germany  These Organic Merino Wool Baby Socks are made from 100% GOTS-certified organic merino wool.  Light-weight. They are designed for sensitive skin. There are very fine threads of elastic that run through the upper ankle portion of the sock, an area approx. 1 cm – ½ inch in height, which help keeps them from slipping down.  They are barely visible when looking at the sock, unless you stretch it out widthwise (see photo below). They are the finest quality available--imported from Europe, made by Grözinger of Germany. More about Grödo... To maintain the health and longevity of your items, organic wool is best washed by hand.  Many modern woolen items are treated with chemicals to allow them to tolerate machine-washing.  Certified organic wool does not contain such chemicals.  Some washing machines have a special wool-cycle, which maintains a lukewarm water temperature throughout the wash and rinse cycle, as well as minimizing agitation of the garment, which can lead to felting/shrinking.   See Caring for Wool.  We recommend hand-washing with Kookaburra Wool Wash.    or LANACare Lanolin Soap with even more lanolin, 7.5%. The higher lanolin content is recommended for nursing pads & diaper covers, or to add even more softness to your woolens and to prolong the self-cleansing properties of the wool.
