Why the wool socks from Skéépe?
The wool socks from Skéépe are unique in their kind because the wool is used from the sheep that actually live on Texel. Because the sheep live freely in the Texel island climate. Because of this, their wool becomes extra thick and frizzy. This special wool is collected by Skéépe from the farmers and then made into these beautiful socks. This makes the socks extra thick, soft and wonderfully warm. Really a sheep wool sock of the best quality.

Buying wool socks from 100% Texel wool
Skéépe uses only the wool from Texel sheep farms. So the sheep live outside and benefit from the salty sea climate. Because of this you have a product which comes 100% from Texel soil and is composed with care.
Preferably we would make socks from 100% wool, but to get a better fit it is better to mix the wool. The wool blend of Skéépe consists of a very high percentage of wool (85%) and a small amount of viscose (15%) so there is an ideal balance between nature and comfort.
15% viscose and 85% wool: 100% Texels!
