Ribbed socks
About this collection
Ribbed socks
A ribbed sock is just that little bit extra. The fine ribs give the sock texture and your outfit more cachet. It is a detail not everyone notices straight away, but those who do know that you love details.
Ribbed socks in cashmere and merino wool
The anniversary sock is a subtle ribbed sock in cashmere with cotton, made for ten years of Carlo Lanza, in ten colours. Shadow is a merino wool sock with a fine rib and a second, subtle tone. And for those who like it classic Italian, there are ribbed merino wool socks that reach to just below the knee, like our knee-high socks.
Made in Italy
All ribbed socks are made in Italy, and the toe is linked by hand, so you don't feel a seam. All yarns are dyed according to the OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 label. This means no harmful chemicals are used in the dyeing process. Better for the environment, and kinder to your skin.
Frequently asked questions
What are the ribbed socks made of?
The anniversary sock is made of cashmere with cotton. Shadow and the ribbed knee-high socks are made of merino wool.
What is the difference between merino wool and ordinary wool?
Merino wool comes from the merino sheep and has a much finer fibre than ordinary sheep's wool. That is why it feels soft and doesn't itch, not even directly on your skin. Merino wool doesn't absorb moisture, it wicks it away. Cotton, on the other hand, does absorb moisture. Merino wool is also self-cleaning, so it is less prone to odour. And it keeps you warm in winter and fresh in summer. Ordinary wool is coarser, feels rougher and is often warmer and heavier.
Which sizes are available?
The ribbed socks and ribbed knee-high socks come in 40-43 and 44-47.
How do you best wash ribbed socks?
Wash them inside out on a wool programme at a maximum of 30 degrees and let them dry on a rack. Preferably don't put your socks in the dryer.
