* All measurements are in inches. Measure bare foot from heel to longest toe.
* Sock fit works with low‑cut, crew, mid‑calf and over‑the‑cuff styles.
* If between shoe sizes, choose the larger sock size for better comfort with thick boots.
* Merino wool will stretch with wear; compression varies by cushion weight: light, mid, heavy cushion.
We take this sock’s purpose seriously, but wanted to have fun with it, too. With proceeds of the Barnyard going to the Vermont Foodbank, this lightweight crew features many of the local farm friends we share our land with. It’s a bright, colorful sock, and hopefully that’s a nod to a future much the same, where food insecurity is a lesson of the past. Still guaranteed for life and still made in Vermont, it also uses yarn from our inventory of overstock Merino Wool yarn – raw materials with no defined future. Will we do this again? Absolutely. Will it be this every day, casual sock? Most certainly not.
Machine wash in cold water on gentle cycle with socks inside-out. Do not bleach. Tumble dry on low or hang dry. Do not dry clean. You can learn more about how to wash merino wool socks here.
