Thread: Wool or bamboo socks

I washed them with some other woolen socks and clothes yesterday and put them on the drying rack in the lounge. Fire going and big ceiling fan on. Last night everything was dry (some very thick wool socks included) except the bamboo socks which felt like they had only just come out of the washing machine. They are still more than just damp this morning.

Yup, this is my finding too. They are absolutely shockers to dry. Comfortable/warm for day hunts, but I wouldn't take them on a multi-day trip.
