Merino Wool Blend
Merino wool, stretch nylon, Outlast acrylic, Olefin and Lycra Spandex blended to provide elasticity, recovery and improved fit as well as increased support at the arch and ankle.
Merino Wool
A special, fine grade of wool that originally came from Merino sheep. It shares all of the characteristics classic to wool, but what makes Merino wool different is the luxurious softness and comfort provided by its finer diameter as contrasted to larger diameter fibers. Unlike coarser grades of wool, Merino wool is much less prone to itching.
Outlast
Outlast is a PCM or Phase Change Material that is combined with acrylic fibers or viscose rayon fibers. The PCM is able to absorb extra heat generated by the human body when it is too warm and releases heat from the human body when it is too cold. Thus it serves as a temperature regulating material. Ideal for use in socks where the person wearing them is engaged in active pursuits. Its properties also reduce perspiration.
Olefin
A superior water repelling fiber that won`t accept moisture. It is used alone or with absorbent outer layers that work together to wick moisture away from your body. It is very strong, and has the lowest specific gravity (lightest) of any man-made fiber. It is also stain resistant and colorfast. The company that developed this fiber won the Nobel Prize.
Low Profile Toe Closure
This type of toe closure is also known as a machine looped toe seam performed on a Complett machine. In this method of toe closing, the end of the knit fabric is run slightly thinner, then this light `run off` is the loop stitched closed. This method allows for less material bulk to be caught within the seam, allows for a straighter seam and allows the seam to lie much flatter inside of the sock.
Care Instructions
A little bit of care for your Wigwam socks can keep them perofming well for years. For the best results, turn the socks inside out before washing. Wash in warm water, do not bleac, do not use fabric softener, tumble dry with low heat. Remove promptly.
