Schoppel sock yarns
The numerous sock yarns make up a large part of the Schoppel product range. The classic sock yarn contains 25% polyamide for the durability and durability of the socks with regular use. Since 2019, Schoppel has been using environmentally friendly and biodegradable polyamide manufactured using Amni Soul Eco® technology. This polyamide can decompose rapidly at the end of its life cycle, facilitating bacteria access and degradation to waste materials, thereby accelerating the biodegradation process. The fiber degrades in around five years through the earth's natural processes, but still retains benefits such as tear resistance. Because the degradation process does not take place in daily use.
Only merino wool from Patagonia is used for the Schoppel products made of merino wool. The southern part of Patagonia cannot be used for agriculture due to the fall winds and is only suitable for keeping sheep. Sheep cannot be kept in factory farming, but rather serve to cultivate rural areas. In Patagonia, the sheep are less affected by insect infestation and therefore do not have to be treated with pesticides, and mulesing, which is painful for the animals, is not known there and is not practiced. The sheep live there freely and close to nature. They are only caught twice a year for shearing and health checks.

Whether colorful or plain, made of wool, cotton or cashmere, self-knitted socks flatter our feet and our soul. Knitting socks is relaxing and satisfies our urge for creativity. In addition, most sock yarns are made from 75 to 100 percent natural materials. With its properties, the new wool is particularly suitable for knitting socks, because it hardly absorbs odors such as sweat and is self-cleaning. Wool can absorb water vapor inside the fiber without feeling damp and is very colour-fast. Self-knitted socks are the perfect gift for our loved ones and ourselves.
What we enjoy today as a hobby and pastime was once a respected trade. Around 1600, the Nuremberg trouser and stocking knitters were first mentioned in a document in Germany. Machines have replaced knitting craftsmen over the centuries, but people have preserved the tradition of hand knitting to this day. Another positive aspect of sock knitting is the sustainability of the knitting: self-knitted socks last longer than socks made of synthetic fibers and are made from rapidly renewable raw materials or recycled yarns. In knitted socks we experience the world with different feet.
