Soft, loose-topped socks for sleeping in - warm, but not enough to walk about in.
Pick a size before adding it.
Bed socks have one job: warm feet at 3 a.m. without a tight cuff. These are knitted from an alpaca blend that is warmer than wool for its weight, with a loose top that leaves no mark. They are not reinforced, because they are not for walking on hard floors.
Like wool, alpaca felts above 30 °C.

Tested. Three of these went through 200 washes at 40 °C before it was listed. The shrinkage figure above is what we measured after five.
Orders from €80,00 ship free; below that it is €4,90. One to two working days in Portugal and Spain, two to four for most of the EU.
Anything unworn, with its tab still attached, can come back within 30 days. Seams, cuffs and waistbands are covered for 100 washes. The full policy.

The shrinkage number was right. I measured before and after five washes out of stubbornness and got 2%, same as the page.
Third order. Sizes are consistent between garments, which is the thing most shops get wrong.
Pilled a bit at first as warned, then stopped. Wish the description had been wrong about the tumble dryer twisting the seams - it was not.
Every garment is cut on one unisex block and runs relaxed. Measure a top you like flat across the chest and compare.
