I don't think it contains wool. Nylon Lycra seems to be material. Very comfortable to wear.

It does not contain wool. I believe that it contains rayon and lycra. I'm not sure what else it contains but I am sure that it doesn't contain wool.

my guess would be synthetic in the calf area and cotton or a blend for the foot area. I doubt there is wool

Wool makes me itch-and these don't make me itch, so I don't think there is wool in them. It says the fibers are polypropylene with silver...no idea what that means. But they are really comfortable.

No wool. Man made fiber like nylon. They work well and feel good and are easier to put on after first time.

I'm sorry but I have never worn wool socks nor gone skiing. This is my first time needing warmer socks. I am in my 60's and have just recently begun having cold feet. I notice that after I wear them in slippers or shoes for several hours, some perspiration seems to accumulate inside the socks and causes my feet to be less warm, although still way better than it would be with regular cotton socks.

nope, no wool. I am allergic to wool too...these are cozy warm and do not itch! I believe they are all acrylic!

I'm not sure, but my husband and I both swear by these socks. They are thick and soft, not scratchy, and incredibly warm. Also, they don't shrink or get little wool fuzzy balls on them when they're washed.

I'm not sure. I just removed part of the bamboo cover and examined my mattress. There is a thin, gauzy, stretchy bag like cover over the entire foam mattress. Inside this cover/bag, there is 2 inches of blue/green gel infused foam and another 9 inches or so of dense foam. Everything is then inside the bamboo cover, which has a soft quilted top and sides. To me, this cover/bag does not appear to be wool, but it may be. I've just never encountered wool in this form.

I am not sure what type of felt it is but is IS NOT wool. I think if it was wool, the stocking would be too heavy.

From what I remember, it appeared to be sheep skin. The quality of the product was not good meaning that the wool matted down and became as though nothing was underneath us at all. For 400.00 dollars, it was not worth the purchase. Save your money.

No, I hand wased mine with Woolite, seemed ok. Dry cleaners here will not take them.

There is no label inside the sock indicating the material used. They may be a cotton-blend knit, but it is definitely not 100% cotton.

The box only says "Woolite Dry Cleaning Secret". I am sorry I can't tell you anymore but it does make one think.

The fiber is wool like but it didn't indicate if it was or not. It isn't itchy like wool at all

I haven't used wool socks, but the thermal ones worked well on a daily basis. Hope this helps u!

The inside part of the sock is a mixture of nylon, polyester and spandex. It's covered in a gel coating. These socks don't breathe, if that's your concern. They are only meant to be worn for a few hours here and there, and not during athletic activity.

I don't have the wrapper any more, so not exactly sure, but I think it was mostly cotton with about 10% polyester. My feet don't sweat in these socks, so it has to be mostly cotton. Its a great deal for the money. I have also bought some diabetic socks at Wal-mart. They were more expensive, but were better quality. I can't remember the brand name.

I also tossed the wrapping but I would say the foot part of the socks are light weight 100% cotton -the calf part is cotton/nylon and stretches without leaving "marks". There is elastic 1/2 inch at top of sock to hold them up. My husband wears these socks with work boots every day with no complaints about the lightweight cotton. I wear the ankle socks and like the light weight cotton material. My feet swell and the only mark I get is right where that elastic holds the sock up. I highly recommend both types of the socks.Hope this helps.

mmm... I am not sure because I only used them in two occasions yet. But I have to say that my last backpacking trip was in really cold weather, and these were the only thick socks I had... so I ended up wearing them non-stop for 4 days, even at night (nasty I know, but so is backpacking). After 3 nights, 4 days, and some 60 miles on them, THEY DIDN'T SMELL! And nor did my feet (but then they never do).Washed and dried them since, and they are still soft and like new.Hope this helps!

I've only used this product on car mats and car upholstery so I can't answer about wool.
