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.

Fantastic socks in terms of quality and performance Great to see the new colours
Prompt delivery. very comfortable socks. These were a repeat order in alternative colours.
Wore these for part of A Walk Across Wales and they were super-comfy.
Jd
Really recommend these socks to go with walking shoes. Not too thick, but plenty of cushioning. Really comfortable and much softer on a long walk than traditional wool. Wish I’d found them sooner!
Second pair bought, really warm and comfy
Really comfortable socks. Warm but very light, they are now my favourite socks.
Bought for the recent frosty weather as I suffer with cold feet in winter. I wear them with thin cotton socks underneath, the mohair wool delivered unbeatable warmth and comfort Fantastic socks 😊 Thank you 🙏
Bought as a present and they look and feel great. Plus made in UK
Bought as gift...
V comfortable
Love them. So cosy
Bought as present. Look good quality.
Very good service, no complaints
Perfect thickness for boots.
Warm, cosy and so comfy - perfect for after swimming
very comfortable and a good length that stays up
Mohair-based socks are just fabulous. Feet stay the right degree of warm and the skin on my feet is never irritated; can wear multiple days too
Love these socks. Do not make you itch and wash well. Got them in different colours. Excellent service
Excellent heavier weight sock for hikingor general use, i have a few pairs. This pair are a present for a family member.

I have found the Ayrshire socks very comfortable on my walks. I am very pleased with the socks.
Best socks ever!

Great fit & very comfortable to wear. So durable that we have been buying them for over ten years now for all of our long distance walks & Wainwright climbs.
My son loves them
Had many in the past, always done well
A+++ 👍👍😁
Only used 3 times, however very comfortable.
Got my first pair of Ayrshire socks a few weeks ago, they will not be the last pair of Capricorn sock I own. I tested them over a 8 hour work day and a 40 km bike ride after! Comfortable throughout the day. Cheers 🍻 Quality product and quality customer service 👌
Nice colour

Couldn’t really decide if I preferred this (Ayrshire) or the Cambridge more. Lovely warm and stink-free; what’s not to love.
