I hadn't thought about turning them inside out to wash. But Darn Tough socks are tough that I'll probably use bleach, fabric softener, and iron them just to see if I can wear them out ;-)

[@WrongGildarts]

Don't wash often? So wear them twice? Or the times? I wash weekly

[@darntoughvermont121]

We recommend 2-3 days, but you could go longer if needed.

Why ya'll don't make an all white pair of crew socks; make an all white pair

[@annevchen]

I usually wash in cold water and hang dry my clothing. Tempting!

[@DevonLadd]

or just wash them however you want and actually use the lifetime warranty when they fail like every other sock

[@OlTrailDog]

I totally disagree. I've become a huge Darn Tough convert. They absolutely wear years longer than other top brand Merino wool socks. Not even close. I wear nothing but Merino wool socks.

If I turn them inside out then all the dog hair gets trapped 😬

[@shindanu]

My thoughts exactly.

[@jasonrivera4180]

This is interesting considering it says to wash in warm water on the packaging.

[@darntoughvermont121]

We recently updated our wash instructions to recommend cold water. You can learn more here: darntough.com/blogs/the-alternate-stitch/how-to-wash-merino-wool-socks

Don't wash as often? Socks get washed after every use. That is non-negotiable.

[@jasonrivera4180]

@@Stardew_Native No, not Merino wool. Naturally antibacterial, odor resistant and moisture wicking. You can wear these multiple times before needing to wash.

@@jasonrivera4180 I love my Darn Tough socks but they attract hair like no other pair I've ever had. I have two dogs and two cats, since I've switched to Darn Tough everyday, I've had 4 hair splinters! It's not about antibacterial, if they are covered in hair, they've gotta be washed!

[@DevonLadd]

I can vouch for what the other guy said, I usually wear my cloudline socks twice, just turn them out and let them dry over a day or two if you have multiple pairs, they go back to smelling like wool in the morning @@Stardew_Native

I love the socks but wish there was a easy way to tell your everyday socks from your heavyweight socks.

[@OlTrailDog]

Try touching them ;-). Or get someone else to touch them and report back to you.
