Warm and Comfortable
Mohair is a fibre that is well known for its properties of warmth and comfort. It therefore produces socks that are ideal when you want warm and comfortable feet
Hard Wearing
Mohair is a very hard wearing fibre and is used for fabrics in aircraft seats for this reason. Many of our customers tell us that they have purchased ‘good quality’ socks from well known stores and they have worn out within 3 or 4 months. Whereas their Capricorn Mohair Socks are still wearing well!
Machine Washable
You can wash your Mohair socks in a washing machine on a warm wool wash cycle, without worrying about excessive shrinkage. When we visit shows selling our socks it’s not unusual for customers to proudly bring their Capricorn Mohair Socks they bought the previous year and show us how well they have worn and washed.
Do not smell after use!
If you look at wool under a microscope you see little burrs. These burrs provide a hiding place for bacteria that make wool socks smell. Mohair is a smooth fibre and has no hiding places for bacteria and that is why Mohair Socks do not smell!!

WASHING
Do I have to Hand wash?
We recommend that you wash Capricorn Socks on a warm wash cycle 40 Degrees, or hand wash. Do NOT tumble dry
Do the colours run?
We advise that you wash the socks separately for the first few times, just in case.
Do they shrink?
Not normally, if you follow the washing instructions correctly
What do I do if I wash them in water that is too hot?
Use hair conditioner, socks your socks in hair conditioner and it will loosen the fibres up again. This method is also a great way to give your socks a new ‘lease of life’
NYLON IN THE SOCKS
Why do you add nylon to the Mohair?
Mohair has lots of strength and resistance to abrasion, but not much elasticity – so we add a special sort of nylon which augments the nylon but doesn’t detract from it’s benefits.
WHY DON’T THEY SMELL?
Come on, why don’t they smell?
The fibres of sheep’s wool have scales on them, but mohair fibres are smooth so there is nowhere for foot bacteria to hide. No bacteria = No smell
ALLERGIES AND CIRCULATION PROBLEMS
I have poor circulation – can I wear Capricorn Mohair Socks?
The loose top Sussex style don’t have an elastic top, instead they are ribbed to make them stay up. These socks also have a ‘linked toe’ in them to so you don’t have that horrible ridge under your toes. We sell lots of these socks to diabetics and people with circulation problems.
I am allergic to wool – can I wear your socks?
Being a hair, you could argue that it is more natural to wear mohair than wool from sheep. We have lots of customers with sensitive skin who wear our sock without any trouble. If you do have sensitive skin, why not try a pair of our cream coloured socks, they are not dyed to are kinder and softer on your feet.

Customer Reviews
Overall rating: 4.9 / 5 from 31 reviews.
I decided to treat myself to a pair of quality socks for my birthday. These didn't disappoint. I put my order in on a Thursday afternoon, and they were in my letterbox on Friday, less than 24.hoirs later. The mohair and nylon mix makes for a comfy sock - a bit like a scarf or beanie hat for the feet - and they're right; they didn't smell, even after wearing them for four days on the trot! They even put a handwritten note in.the package for me! Wonderful customer service and I'll definitely be ordering from them again in the near future.
Fantastic!!!
Really comfy walking sock. Washes and dries very easily. Jon was extremely helpful in guidance on size and correcting the order when I had made an error. Would definitely buy again
Thank you - you delivery was prompt and carefully packaged. I've previously had these styles of socks over the years and they're as good as ever. I'm grateful for your good socks - always comfortable, hardwearing and a range of great colours.
Really comfy, used in very cold temperatures cross country skiing in Norway and feet stayed warm all day. Not everyone had such toasty warm feet so very impressed with my purchase as I tend to be prone to cold feet.
Fab. Warm, comfy. Thinking about ordering more.
Beautiful colour - so pleased !
Fabulous ultra warm socks, I’ll be ordering more!
These really are as billed as they are the warmest socks I have been able to source without being bulky
These socks are amazing! I have ordered a second pair already. So warm and bouncy feeling . Best socks I’ve ever had :)
Lovely cream, cosy socks - can't tell they are seconds
Excellent socks..I’d order more in different colours but they’re out of stock in my size!
I love my Capricorn Derbyshire Socks. They are the only socks l wear for walking and in the house. They are so warm and comfortable and last for years.
Great socks - thanks
Brilliant, great fit, washes well and retains shape.
Great thick socks for all-day walking. Very comfortable.
Bought two pairs of the Derbyshire seconds, They seem a lot warmer than my other hill walking socks, also there is no internal ridges( normally ware two bits are joined together)that end up given you grief by the end of the day.So all in a very very good sock. But also a hand written card saying " Small business, Big gratitude. Enjoy your new socks" So great socks but also a great small business , So more than happy to recommend Capricorn Mohair Socks. To anyone
Very warm and comfortable, worn in hiking boots.
yet again brilliant socks cant wait to head to the hills
Fantastic as always
Great as always
Thanks very much for such speedy delivery They are very nice and comfortable socks
Fantastic. First time on. 27k walk over two Corbetts in Glen Affric. All sorts of terrain including stalkers paths, rocks , bogs, peat haggs and finally a long Troy out on an estate track. Socks were suberb
The seconds are rather too loose, fine for bedsocks which is how I am planning to use them, not so good for walking.
Love these socks So comfortable Great colour and fabric
Very cosy and thick
Very comfortable walking socks . Used as an outer pair with lightweight inner sock. No issues and used for a seven mile walk inside leather boots. Will use again soon.
good thick warm socks but they are a little loose and slither down towards the toes unless trousers are tucked in
Son asked us to get these as he lives in Belgium. He's very pleased with his pair, I'll be getting some more for him.
Very warm and comfortable!
