Socks definitely don&#8217;t like the dryer; to maintain their shape and size, they should be hung on a clothesline the old-fashioned way. Woolen socks, including merino wool, should ideally be washed by hand. If you put them in the machine, wash them at 40 degrees and do not use the spin cycle. Do the same for angora wool and brushed acrylic socks.     &nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sokisahtel.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/4c7f9ca1-fcc3-498d-bd0c-650f87307044-1024x1024-1.jpg\" alt=\"CLOTHES PIN cotton socks\" class=\"wp-image-957\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sokisahtel.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/4c7f9ca1-fcc3-498d-bd0c-650f87307044-1024x1024-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.sokisahtel.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/4c7f9ca1-fcc3-498d-bd0c-650f87307044-300x300-1.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.sokisahtel.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/4c7f9ca1-fcc3-498d-bd0c-650f87307044-150x150-1.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.sokisahtel.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/4c7f9ca1-fcc3-498d-bd0c-650f87307044-768x768-1.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.sokisahtel.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/4c7f9ca1-fcc3-498d-bd0c-650f87307044-780x780-1.jpg 780w, https:\/\/www.sokisahtel.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/4c7f9ca1-fcc3-498d-bd0c-650f87307044-600x600-1.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.sokisahtel.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/4c7f9ca1-fcc3-498d-bd0c-650f87307044-550x550-1.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.sokisahtel.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/4c7f9ca1-fcc3-498d-bd0c-650f87307044-370x370-1.jpg 370w, https:\/\/www.sokisahtel.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/4c7f9ca1-fcc3-498d-bd0c-650f87307044-255x255-1.jpg 255w, https:\/\/www.sokisahtel.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/4c7f9ca1-fcc3-498d-bd0c-650f87307044.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"828\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sokisahtel.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/1614948688842-648495-2.png\" alt=\"Black tights\" class=\"wp-image-958\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sokisahtel.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/1614948688842-648495-2.png 600w, https:\/\/www.sokisahtel.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/1614948688842-648495-2-217x300-1.png 217w, https:\/\/www.sokisahtel.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/1614948688842-648495-2-550x759-1.png 550w, https:\/\/www.sokisahtel.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/1614948688842-648495-2-370x511-1.png 370w, https:\/\/www.sokisahtel.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/1614948688842-648495-2-255x352-1.png 255w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-left has-text-color\" id=\"kuidas-hooldada-sukatooteid\" style=\"color:#ea060a;font-size:26px\"><strong>How to care for hosiery?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Since tights and stockings are delicate, it is generally recommended to wash them by hand.
