When I was little, when asked what my favourite colour was, I often replied “stripes”. Stripes don’t discriminate on the colour wheel – in fact in the stripey world, the more colours the merrier. And let’s face it, stripes in nature have produced some the most striking animals going (zebras & tigers to name just two, tho I am rather partial to the tabby cat too).
So I couldn’t have been happier when a big box of SmartWool arrived in the shop this week, in all its warm, wooly, comfy AND stripey glory. I first met this sock about five years ago and have been trying to convert my entire sock drawer over to them one pair at a time ever since.
Why SmartWool you might ask? Well I’ll tell you straight from the horse’s, ahem sheep’s, mouth over at SmartWool headquarters: “We’re wool geeks, there’s no way around it. For over 17 years we’ve been combining the latest in innovative design, technology and construction with the best wool nature has to offer, and it’s this expertise and experience combined with our passion for mountain sports that makes our products so unique.” That and a super stylish lifestyle line, which keep your feet warm and looking super cute to boot. Seriously folks, these socks are the Best*Socks*Ever!
