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 295 reviews.
Very glad I found these socks best for comfort and wear
I bought my first pair earlier in the year and have loved them so much I’ve just bought 3 more pairs! I really like the looseness around the ankle., they fit well, are easy to wash and don’t shrink, and most importantly are very comfortable and warm, but don’t overheat your feet either. Great product
Wonderful socks as always, they are v comfy, I really like the Sussex as not tight around the ankles, but don’t fall down! Stay really fresh.
Extremely comfortable socks which do not grip leg and ankle too tightly. Wash very well at 40 degrees and don’t shrink! Don’t get smelly either. Fabulous range of colours . Love them!
There are no better socks.
They say "probably the best socks", I say DEFINITELY the best socks. Beautiful, soft, comfortable, hard wearing, great colours and high quality. I inherited 2 pairs of Capricorn socks from my mum and I don't think I'll ever wear any others. I bought 7 pairs with some of her inheritance and am looking forward to exploring the rest of the collection. Thank you Capricorn!
I bought myself and my adult kids Capricorn Sussex socks- we all love them. They are a great fit- whether you have really broad feet like mine or narrow like my kids. Great quality & colours. I particularly like how they aren’t tight around bottom of legs, but don’t fall down. These will be my ‘go to’ socks from now on!
Loving the casual look of my new cream socks with my converse boots, they feel so comfy and are keeping my feet nice and warm as we come into Autumn.
Absolutely love my cosy, cream Sussex socks. I wear them to work as they are so comfortable and look stylish. I also like the way that the Sussex doesn't cling to the ankle so you get a much more casual look. They wash in the machine on 30 degrees but I advise shaping them back when damp by gently pulling widthways.
Been buying these socks for years and wear them every day, would not be without them.
I love these socks, they’re so warm and comfy and wash so well. Purchased 5 pairs as presents
Great colour. Just want it in the Sussex but the Surrey is good too. Wonderful socks, I won't buy any others now.
I like the original process on which these socks are made with keeping the craft going with employment.
great colour and I'm pleased that they wash well. good job.
I love the socks comfy and warm I was a bit disappointed with the colour though my choice was Burnt orange,I expected them to be much darker. They are more like Tango Orange?? Which does limit how I can wear them. Was hoping to wear them peeping over my boots but the bright orange colour just doesn’t look very good sadly.
Lovely colour!
Beautiful socks, and really comfortable by all accounts from my husband. They arrived super fast and the colour choice is fantastic.
Excellent socks really comfy
Really comfy, lovely range of colours, I now have purple, blue, grey and mustard. A good all rounder sock.
Nice and warm plus a snug fit. Great
Im not sure I want to share how fabulous these socks are as I don’t want more people discovering them. They are the warmest, comfiest, all rounder in my sock drawer. Love them.
Excellent quality at a fair price
Lovely socks 😍
These are the only socks I buy now for my husband. He suffers from swollen ankles, so this loose top style, is perfect for him.
Lovely colour and feel
Love the colour and the feel
Disappointed by the colour. I would have expected "burnt orange" to be a stronger and richer colour - as suggested on the website. This is why I returned the socks and got the green instead which I am very happy with. Also, regardless of colour, I am very happy with these socks in every other respect. As you will know from your records, my recent order was a repeat which confirms this.
Love these socks: happy repeat customer.
Not many claims that say "the best you'll ever wear"...but these socks really are...really can't see myself buying anything other than these again!!!
Well received gift
The best socks I’ve ever bought. Excellent quality and great that they do not restrict circulation.
Best socks ever
Purchased for my dad who has worn Capricorn socks for years and thinks they are the best
I needed socks with a soft top and that’s what I’ve got there great.
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.
Very comfortable and look splendid
Great, get more!
Love colour and feel of these socks. Definitely going to have to get some more. Thanks
Very comfortable, I purchased for my who suffers with foot problems then for myself.
