These socks feature a jacquard knit where the animal designs are woven directly into the fabric, preventing the images from peeling or cracking over time. The 200-needle construction provides a smoother, denser feel compared to budget alternatives. The material blend includes combed cotton to reduce the likelihood of pilling, alongside nylon and spandex for structural integrity.
The build quality includes reinforced heel and toe sections to extend the life of the socks in high-friction areas. Specifications suggest these are best for US Women's sizes 5-9; larger sizes may stretch the elastic to its limit, causing the base color to show through the pattern. Because of the complex woven designs, there are "yarn floats" on the interior that should be handled carefully to avoid snagging.
Care and Maintenance
- Air-drying is recommended as heat above 60°C can degrade the spandex core.
- Turning socks inside out during the first wash helps settle the internal threads.
- Avoid using high-heat dryer cycles to maintain the cuff's compression power.
If you enjoy animal motifs but prefer a pack with more pairs, the Bonangel Food & Animal set offers a wider variety of graphics.
