Fästfolk Emilia & Einar Long Wool Socks
£29.00
Knitted in a pattern that’s inspired by lovestruck fiancées, and honours love, togetherness and partnership, these gorgeous recycled wool knee-high socks have an authentic folk aesthetic, in traditional Swedish colours of rusty oranges and soft, steely grey. What a beautiful marriage of Swedish storytelling and deep textile heritage they are.

They’re made to last, and are a wonderful, practical companion for keeping your hands cosy ~ whether you’re crafting in your studio, pottering in the garden, or out on a walk in the woods.

These beautiful and durable socks perfectly marry slow-living folk-inspired style with utility. Leaving your fingers free to do what they need to do, they provide warmth and insulation right at the pulse points, with the merino doing the job it’s so naturally good at ~ regulating your temperature whatever the time of year, and even on damp days.
The Öjbro Vantfabrik collection is produced in small, intentional batches by Åse ~ designer of patterns ~ and her husband Ted. They produce mainly in their homeland of Sweden, but also collaborate with small family-owned factories & co-operatives in Finland. Dedicated to keeping traditional patterns and colours alive, their team creates knitwear that is as pure, natural and durable as possible ~ designed to endure a lifetime of everyday wear, doing everyday things.
SIZE & FIT
Öjbro’s socks are designed for all genders, and are jacquard knit, so each pattern has its own personality ~ some are a more close-fitting, others more ‘chunky’. But how they feel and fit will be different from person to person, depending on the shape and size of your feet. After just a few wears, the inherent natural stretch of the wool will gently mould to your foot shape for a uniquely you-sized fit.
We would say these socks are sized quite generously. If in doubt or on the cusp, size down.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS
- Routine Care: Regularly shake out to remove any dust. To spot clean small marks, use a damp cloth and gently dab the area. If you see signs of pilling ~ which sometimes happens as the natural fibres are exposed to everyday friction ~ gently remove them by hand, or use a metal fabric comb. Öjbro strongly believes in making products that are durable enough to be worth repairing if they do develop a small hole or sustain some damage ~ so they also sell repair kits, which you can find out more about here.
- Washing: Machine wash at 40°. We recommend a liquid detergent ~ even better if it’s specifically for wool.
- Drying: Gently squeeze out any excess water, and reshape, before laying flat to dry.
- Things to avoid: Do not dry clean. Do not tumble dry. Do not wring. Do not iron. Do not bleach.
