If you love the luxurious comfort of Capricorn Mohair Socks, you’ll want to make sure they last as long as possible. These high-quality socks, made from a blend of mohair and other premium fibres, provide warmth, breathability, and durability.
But did you know that how you store them can impact their lifespan? Adopting a thoughtful folding and storage method can prevent stretching, pilling, and unnecessary wear and tear.
In a recent newsletter, we asked our family of Capricorn Mohair Sock wearers how they store their socks in their sock drawer, and we have incorporated those into this article.
Why Proper Sock Storage Matters
Most people are guilty of rolling their socks into tight balls or shoving them into drawers without a second thought.
But this common habit can weaken the elastic, misshape the fibres, and shorten the life of your socks. When it comes to Capricorn Mohair Socks, keeping them in top condition means treating them with care.
A well-organised sock drawer also makes getting dressed easier, ensuring you can quickly find the perfect pair without rummaging through a tangled mess.
How to Fold or Roll Socks the Right Way
Instead of stretching your socks by rolling them into a ball, follow this simple method:
1. Lay Them Flat – Place your socks one on top of the other on a flat surface.
2. Fold in Half – Bring the toe section up to meet the cuff.
3. Fold Again (Optional) – If you prefer a more compact shape, fold them once more.
Alternatively, several people got in touch with us stating they roll their socks together.
4. Roll from Toe to Cuff – Start at the toe and roll the socks tightly towards the cuff.
Then you can store them on their edge
This technique keeps the fibres intact and prevents unnecessary stretching. It also maximises space and keeps your sock collection looking neat.
Where and How to Store Your Mohair Socks
Because Capricorn Mohair Socks are made from natural fibres, it's important to store them in a breathable environment.
Looking online there are some great inserts to put within a sock drawer, these keep your pairs together, whether you fold or roll your socks
Avoid plastic bags or airtight containers, which can trap moisture and lead to mildew. Instead, keep them in a well-ventilated drawer or storage box.
Extra Tips to Keep Your Socks in Great Condition
- Wash Gently – Use a mild wool detergent and hand wash or machine wash on a delicate cycle.
- Air Dry – Avoid tumble drying, as heat can damage the mohair fibres.
- Rotate Your Socks – Having multiple pairs means each pair gets worn less often, extending their lifespan.
- Store Seasonally – If you only wear thick mohair socks in winter, store them carefully during the warmer months to prevent dust and damage.
Invest in Quality, Care for Longevity
Capricorn Mohair Socks are built to last, but proper care will ensure they stay soft, warm, and comfortable for years. By folding them correctly and storing them with care, you can maintain their shape and durability while keeping your sock drawer beautifully organised.
