Newport Merino Wool Socks
Corgi · £16
Worth being NRY provisional
£15.60 and the cheapest here, a lightweight merino blend knitted in Carmarthenshire. Merino is the fibre that makes a sock worth more than £5: it manages moisture, it does not smell after a day, and it survives a washing machine. This is the pair to buy a dozen of and stop thinking about socks.
- For
- Someone replacing a drawer of supermarket socks with something that lasts.
- Not for
- Anyone wanting warmth: lightweight merino is a three-season sock.
