For men, women and children. Plain-knit throughout, reaching up to just below the knee. Hard wearing and will last for ages. Resilient and will keep their shape after many days of wear. Odour resistant (smooth mohair fibres have nowhere for smelly foot bacteria to lurk). Can be machine washed at 40⁰c (see washing instructions). Available in 14 colours.
Fibre Content: 55% Mohair, 45% JAS Nylon
Why add nylon? Mohair itself has relatively little elasticity and so we add nylon to give extra stretch. The nylon does not detract from the beneficial effects of the mohair.
“In 25 years the mohair fibre and ingredients of your Corrymoor Socks haven't changed…..but detergents and washing machines have.”
So what is the best way to care for your Corrymoors?
A Bit of Science and tips on washing
Mohair is a fibre made up of the protein keratin (like your own hair, silk, wool and other animal fibres). The scales of the mohair fibre are flattened and overlay each other giving a smooth surface (unlike wool). This gives mohair its smooth handle and high lustre and your Corrymoor Socks their unique hard-wearing, anti-bacterial (no smell), wicking and non-felting properties.
Mohair has a much greater resistance to shrinking and felting than other natural fibres, but it too finds it hard to resist the action of the protease enzymes found in many of the “low temperature” detergents. Sadly, the enzymes cannot tell the difference between dirt and the protein fibres of the mohair which can ultimately weaken and breakdown resulting in slight shrinkage and felting of your beloved Corrymoors.
For your Information (although we do not recommend you try this out at home)
Corrymoors are dyed in water which reaches boiling point, this is then followed by rinsing AND spinning AND tumble drying!
Skimpy Eventer
These socks are really a bit on the skimpy side for me. Could be an inch longer in the leg and a tad wider. I am not a large lady so some may find this too tight. They are lightweight and ok in wellies. Should wear well, better than my bamboo, but do seem pricey .time will tell.

These socks are fabulous. Thin eough to suit normal everyday shoes warm toasty and they don't fall down!!!
Been wearing these for years.
Great socks. stay up all day. no gathering under foot when walking in wellies. Best socks ever. Have managed to wear a few pairs out in 20 years. Branching out into new styles now.

Over the past 3 or 4 years I seem to have acquired a selection of three different sorts of Corrymore socks, and I like them all. Corrymore socks always do what it says on the box: furthermore they are the most consistently comfortable socks I have ever worn.
I haver only one complaint: Corrymore never seem to wear out, so my 'sock drawer' is now full.
Buy a pair and try for your self.
