Wool or cotton slouchy socks in dark colours

[dudsville]

Why am I struggling to find these when I'm see them around everywhere? Does anyone have any suggestions?

Have you got a picture of what you mean?

I want legwarmers

Grr, I just tried but have never mastered a pic or link on here. It's a sock that's slouchy or rouched in the space between an ankle boot and the bottom hem of the rolled up trousers. I want this to be dark, and cotton or wool, but all I can find is acrylic or leg warmer sizes, and yes Totem I have been tempted by those!

Ah.... Well I think I know want you mean. Mens socks may be your answer! Unless you have an amazing budget/know a knitter.

Try the Women's Everyday Socks in bamboo from Seasalt. They're quite long and dark and soft, organic fabric. But striped not plain. Would that do?

I want some too! Can't find any anywhere

Ooh, ideas, thanks! Off to google!

Hm. I'm looking for something like at the sock shop ribbed boot sock, but dark grey, green, blue, black, marl or plain.

Furryhat, I'm now considering ankle warmers. There are short ones on amazon.

I’m also looking for socks like this! I got some last year from eBay, nice plain dark colours in 100% wool. But I can’t find them this year. I got some men’s ones but find them too big even though I have fairly big feet. I’ve had luck in the past buying boys socks. I don’t know why women’s socks all have to be patterned!

I have these ones, they're lovely.

Corrymoor gentletops

Lol, was just about to recommend the Corrymore ones. I bought them in the hunter green to go with chino-ish trousers and now I want a pair to match every pair of trousers I own. They're the perfect length and fold or slouch beautifully without the elasticky bit getting in the way.

Have also seen some nice cashmere ones at TK Maxx.

i like those corrymoor. I'm a size 6, do i just get the smallest?

I love companies like this, Rubbish and Arousing, thanks for the recommendation. It's so hard to find the small and independent companies making great products because internet searches are set up to send us to the big retailers. There should be a thread for companies like this. I'm ordering 7 pairs in small!

Got a pack of these from H&M:

Wow, 7 pairs! I hope you like them, they're lovely and silky and cozy. Dh said 'Aren't they itchy?' but they're not scratchy or bulky like you might imagine mohair to be. Love mine.

tk maxx do calvin klein slouchy socks like \link{https://www.johnlewis.com/calvin-klein-roll-top-crew-ankle-socks-grey-black/p3291739\this} if that's what you mean?

fill yer boots!

Wool socks are my everything :)

exWifebeginsat40 have you had a look at shooting socks? Most over-the-knee socks are barely cuffable but they are extra-long.

Sadly as soon as I had enough long socks I had to retire the very boots I bought them for so am now on the hunt for long boots.

Small size should be fine.

They're so soft, you'll love them. Mine are burgundy - I need more pairs!

I know what you mean about not knowing about these small companies. I found Corrymoor because of a recommendation on here, which is the way I come across all these interesting places to buy new things

They arrived yesterday. They are wonderful. I wish they had a darker grey but I'm otherwise really pleased and feel good having bought from a small British supplier who is producing a wonderful product.
