Toddler/Childrens Wool Socks

[nik_907]

Has anyone ever bought wool socks or made their own?

The socks I have for my son never keep his feet warm and it's driving me nuts! :

Any info would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

We got a bunch of Wigwam socks from Campmor. And a few pairs of used handmade wool socks from the thrift store. I like the slipper type that are heavy yarn in a super tight weave.

we love wig wam and smart wool: Check REI outlet or Sierra Trading Post

not sure how you feel about Fleece but that stuff is dang warm. I wonder how hard it would be to sew up a pair of house socks???

Thanks for the replies!

Haven't been to the local thrift shop in months as I'm trying to avoid shoppers remorse hehe.. Maybe I will check it out though.

WigWam seems to be the most popular when you google it. Did you guys order any online or just pick up locally? I live in the peninsula and not sure when I will be back to Anchorage to check the stores out.

Have any online stores that you liked in general?

Thanks again!

I will check out those wigwams.. anyone been to Sugar and Spice in the old University center? Don't know if they have wool socks, but they had cloth diapers and organic cotton baby clothes..seem pretty crunchy!

I thought I might have seen those WigWam things at the Alaska Mill and Feed. Not sure though. Dang $$ if you ask me.

REI has a sale on now.

We've never used Wigwam. We go with Smart Wool thins--long for skiing, short for everyday at school. For long periods of exercise or cold, they wear sock liners underneath.

I suggest Sierra Trading Post as the cheapest & easiest. Plus, they always have specials going--sign up for the email blurbs.
