What is the fabric content? I am allergic to wool, is there any wool in these socks? Thank you.

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

To be honest I bought mine for emergencies so I have not used it yet. However, it did seem to be itchy. I think most wool is unless you are buying cashmere. I could be mistaken. I hope this helps you. I highly recommend buying this blanket regardless as they do not make them of this quality anymore.

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

It is itchy. It's wool. Kept me warm in a deer stand with 9* windchill though. Heavy but warm. If you don't want itchy, find alpaca wool. Hard to find on Internet.

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.

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

It depends on which ones you get. The ultra comfy are 90% which is just perfect. The nylon (9%) and elastane (1%) is what keeps them up around leg. Not so tight it bothers you. Buy and ENJOY! I have others with less wool but still snuggy warm and ware very well.

I don't know for sure...but I like them..I would suggest contacting the manufacturer. I have no allergies, so try to contact them.

The only thing that works for me is l is if I wear "Injinji 2.0 Unisex Liner Crew Toesocks" as a first sock layer. No I don't work for them. I wear wool usually on the outside and then I can walk anywhere.

No, not at all. The difference is the Merino wool. I do not wear anything wool because of the scratchy/itchy feeling. I have no problem with these on my legs.

No wool. It's made of mainly acrylic and polyester. They are very thick so you may need to get a larger shoe size.

As far as I know it is organic wool. cleaned etc but otherwise untreated. I saw responses to reviews from the owner of the company so you could directly there for your answer.Cheers

No the socks are what I'd describe as a thick nylon but are still comfy. Only thing to worry about is the cape. My capes are starting to unstring but it's a quick fix.

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.

Hi Ellen, I would not advise wearing socks that are made of wool for hiking during the summer heat. these socks are 67% wool.

You can not put wool pillow in the wash, although it's better for someone with allergies. I went cotton, I couldn't imagine not having the option to throw it in the wash.

100% wool vs 80% wool. I have both and they are both warm. I guess price is the difference that I see.
