Variations on a theme
Now in stock, Super Ms in wool, super warm & of course, super comfy!
I did a 2 day test after running them through a couple of washer & dryer loads to shrink them up. I found nearly a 10 inch difference in length, and they are more snug than the cotton version around the legs, the thighs still stretched to nearly 24 inches wide with a length of about 40 inches after shrinkage.
The first day I wore them without garters, they would slip to my knees from time to time. During moderate to light activity I found this acceptable. I slept in them all night comfortably. I recommend making sure you moisturize your skin in this cold dry weather, wool is good at wicking moisture away from your skin (as is cotton) and I noticed my skin was a little extra dry around my knees & feet.
On the second day I added sock garters.
These are our latest, inspired by the pretty purples in the M Stripes.
They stayed up all the way at the tops of my thighs perfectly & comfortably.
Not only all morning and afternoon while I ran up & down the stairs here at Sock Dreams headquarters but in and through two malls at the end of the day in search of a birthday gift for my bestfriend and longtime partner Bsti.
At the end of the day the only reason I took these off was to replace them with a new sample pair I’m testing, a spandex-y version of the Super Ms that is snug from the feet through the ankles and up to the thighs. I’ll bring these in after the holidays, but I liked the otk version (pastels only for now) so well last week that I went ahead and got some, you’ll see those here soon. Also after the holidays, more lengths of plain comfy wool socks just in time for winter.
