FinnWool Pure New Wool!

                                   All Finnwool socks are Made in Finland!

What is FinnWool?

§         FinnWool originates from Finnsheep; a special breed from Finland.

§         Finnsheep is a several hundred year old breed – systematic improvement of the breed began in Finland in 1918.

§         In the 1960’s the breed was imported to Manitoba and Minnesota.  This because:

·         They are a hardy and easy to care for breed known for their superb maternal instincts.

·         Finnsheep's wool is mainly white in colour, but there are also black, brown and shades of grey and tan sheep within the breed.

·         Finnsheep's wool is particularly lustrous, elastic, light and firm. It is very soft - even softer than Merino wool - because Finnsheep has more long and soft under-hair compared to the thicker and stiffer upper hair of other breeds.

·         It is the best felting wools you can get your hands on!

Because of today’s high demand for wool, FinnWool is a mixture with high quality wool from other breeds like Merino, Oxford down, Dorset and Texel sheep.

FinnWool can be used to make sweaters, hats, mittens, socks, and blankets; whatever you can imagine and because it is very soft the garments can be used next to the skin.

FOR SKIING-HIKING-SNOWSHOEING-WALKING-RUNNING…

These exceptionally high quality sports socks are ideal for all cool weather and winter activities. The socks are made of warm, soft, non-itching pure FinnWool. FinnWool is a natural insulator – it keeps you warm in the winter and cool in the summer. It absorbs perspiration and forms a dry “insulation layer" next to your skin. 

FinnWool absorbs 35% of its weight in moisture but will not feel moist or wet. It feels warm when wet because natural wool is a poor heat conductor! This is what makes wool a unique and inimitable (not easily imitated…) natural product.  That is why wool is just as appreciated today as it was in the days of old!

Polyamide fibres mixed with the wool give the socks durability, stretch and resiliency. Polypropylene improves moisture transportation and warmth.

Due to its special 4-channel fibre construction Coolmax transfers moisture effectively from the skin and keeps your feet dry and comfortable.

FinnWool Sports Socks

The cuff built with Lycra holds the socks securely in place, yet not too tightly. This permits the blood to circulate properly while preventing itching and dry skin around the ankles.

The sole's special wool-welt cushioning protects against blisters and keeps your feet dry, warm and comfortable.

The smooth/flat toe seam prevents abrasions.
