Bought two pairs so I could wear my new socks seven days a week. Breathable, comfy, warm (but not too hot) and soft. What's not to like!

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: 4.7 / 5 from 35 reviews.
I usually wear Derbyshire or Ayshire with my walking shoes but wanted to try these. First impressions - love the colour! A royal blue shade. Very comfy socks, no ridge on little toe and after an 8 mile walk over the hills they didn't move an inch. They are the perfect fusion of the thick Derbyshire sole, with the thinner Ayshire top, plus the rib of a Yorkshire sock, so it doesn't fall down. They might just be my new favourite walking socks!
Really good quality socks. I've had several pairs of Capricorn socks in different styles and like these they are high quality and fit well.
Very comfortable for travelling and lots of walking
Shorter socks are my new favourite, love them.
10/10 would purchase again
The second pair I've bought - I was very pleased with the first pair. They are very warm and comfy. Also, a nice company to deal with.
Like the Derbyshire these are fab. Warm and comfy I can't imagine anyone not being thrilled with them.
Bought for a friend
Excellent, well made, distinctive socks - just wish small skeins of darning wool were available for purchase, to extend further their life in damaged or inevitable repair areas.
Great quality socks, my nephew won't wear anything else!
Love these socks...a bit big for my feet as I'm a sz 3.5-4 and I bought sz 4-7. Beautiful socks..soft..great quality and a beautiful blue colour. Ordering was no problem..lots of choice and delivery was prompt. I would totally recommend this company.
Toe area too bulky and padded underfoot feels coarse. I will be able to wear with an under sock in over sized boots.
Fantastic service, socks came by Royal Mail delivery the day after ordering.
Best socks I’ve ever had!
Really comfortable socks, nice and warm to wear indoors. Can't wait for the weather to turn cold and I will be wearing them in my wellies outside then !
Bought as a present, I have some, and my son has some. We both like them. If I had known you were based Rothbury, I might have come and had a look. will be back in April, will visit Elements again.
Very warm and comfortable to wear with wellies. Did not hold up well on the leg though. Others have suggested this as a positive. I don't mind the skittery look of the faulty dyeing at all. (-:
Socks arrived very quickly. Excellent service and quality
Great socks !
Lovely socks , very comfortable
Perfect xb
Satisfied.
All fine
Thank you Capricorn!
Bought as replacement for other socks, slightly thicker would have bought the thinner socks if I had realised. The other Capricorn socks I have had last for years .
Warm and very comfortable.
These were supposed to be seconds, but I couldn’t see anything wrong with them - the colour variation was well within what I would accept as normal. Not that I’m complaining. Excellent comfortable socks at a discount!
Excellent socks. Warm, comfortable and a pleasure to wear. They have been my go to socks through the cold weather .
Good socks and good value
Sadly the elastic top too tight but capricorn kindly exchanged for my favourite lighter weight style with gentle ribbed top. Personal touch always excellent
Great socks and very comfortable in shallow shoes rather than walking boots.
The fabric of the socks is great, warm and comfortable. However the way they are put together at the toe end makes them difficult to wear with shoes or boots as there is too much fabric round the toes. They are excellent as bed socks though.
Certainly warm, but they seemed much bigger than usual I did wonder if the wrong size had been sent accidentally but have kept and worn them once so far. Maybe they will shrink a bit in time.
Good quality great value
