advantage

They are not easy to freeze feet when worn in winter, and are also particularly soft, comfortable, warm, and breathable.
shortcoming
1. Due to the protein composition of wool fibers, they can be damaged by reacting with alkali.
2. Wool is afraid of high temperatures. If wool is boiled in boiling water for a long time, protein will hydrolyze, causing fiber damage, weakened strength, and yellowing.
3. During the Huangmei season, wool socks are prone to absorbing moisture and becoming moldy due to the invasion of mold.
4. Although wool fibers have good elasticity, they are difficult to restore to their original state if the tensile strength is high and the stretching time is long. To protect clothing, do not stretch too much.
5. Wool socks have poor sweat absorption effect and can easily keep feet in a damp state, causing bacteria.
So, friends who like to wear woolen socks should also know how to maintain and care for them on a daily basis.
