Here are some additional tips for washing camel wool socks: Avoid using hot water, as this can shrink and damage the wool fibers. Do not use fabric softener, as this can coat the wool fibers and reduce their ability to wick away moisture. Dry the socks flat, as hanging them to dry can cause them to stretch out of shape. With proper care, your camel wool socks will last for many years.
Machine washing: Turn the socks inside out. Set the washing machine to the delicate cycle and cold water. Add a mild detergent specifically designed for wool. Place the socks in the washing machine and start the cycle. Once the cycle is complete, remove the socks from the washing machine and gently squeeze out any excess water. Lay the socks flat to dry.
Hand washing: Fill a sink or basin with cold or lukewarm water. Add a mild detergent specifically designed for wool, such as Woolite or Eucalan. Submerge the socks in the water and gently agitate them to work the detergent into the fibers. Soak the socks for 10-15 minutes. Rinse the socks thoroughly in cold water until all of the detergent is removed. Gently squeeze out any excess water, but do not wring or twist the socks. Lay the socks flat to dry.
