In Aotearoa, New Zealand to go tramping is to go on a big hike. We love tramping, and the country is filled with the most glorious tracks. When you tramp it’s important to look after your feet and to look after the environment. You wear comfortable footwear and socks, and you take only photographs, leave only footprints.

Tramp Sock is soft and strong and washable - ideal for socks (but great for other knits too) and the nylon used to make this yarn is biodegradable. Traditional nylon can lie in landfill for decades before it starts to degrade. Tramp Sock will be done decomposing in about 5 years - leave only footprints.
