Fashion is not something that you can be too sure of, especially with wool socks, as they are prone to look very ‘shabby’ after some time. It is good though, to keep up with fashion trends so that you do not look embarrassingly outdated. The fashion world is constantly changing and the styles that were hot last year could be completely turned upside down in a matter of weeks. So, how do you keep abreast of the fashion buzz around wool socks?
Wool yarn does indeed change with the seasons; therefore, it is advisable to stay abreast of each change and remain informed. While it is true that natural wool sock yarns feel very snugly to the touch, this is not always the case, as synthetics can feel like Styrofoam, which can also make them feel like they are wearing mittens. You must therefore understand that wool is a very flexible fiber that can be spun into any possible shape, thereby offering a very interesting range of options when it comes to fashion. You can choose from a wide range of colours including grey, tan, green, dark blue, purple, pink, orange, yellow and many others.
Synthetic yarns do not have the same flexibility that natural wool has, but that does not mean that they cannot look good on your feet. In fact, the choice is all up to you. Those who feel like wearing pure wool socks will probably want to stick with them, but those who prefer their clothes to look less like mittens will go for the poly blend wool sock yarns. So, while you may have been stuck with what you first bought (i.e. the ordinary plain wool), you can always try something new this season and even change the colour if you fancy.
