The soft wool socks I have previously worn were imported and no longer available. However these socks from Joya are even softer and the most deliciously comfortable that I HAVE EVER WORN. I would give them a ten star rating if that were possible. I wear wool socks every day without fail, even in summer (or no socks) as I have an active outdoor lifestyle. I am a total fan of Joya and so glad I found you online after seeing ( and buying) your lovely socks on sale in a village near me.
