Cotton lisle for women

Cotton lisle

Discover our selection of women's cotton lisle knee-high or mid-calf socks in more than twenty plain or patterned colours.

Women's cotton lisle socks are thin and light, ideal to wear in all seasons (except in winter if you are looking for some extra warmth!)

# Does Scottish thread come from Scotland?

Not at all! The threads of our socks have never set foot in Scotland. The mercerization process was simply invented by John Mercer, a Scot: it is therefore a tribute to his nationality. Specifically, the purpose of this process is to burn off the fibers that escape from the thread to make it more uniform, shinier (less fuzzy), and above all to prevent pilling!

# When should you wear Scottish thread mid-calf socks?

The majority of French people wear cotton socks all year round! Scottish thread socks can be worn just as well during cold or warm seasons. The softness of Scottish thread protects the feet in winter (if you are sensitive to cold, it probably won’t be enough!). Its lightness and fineness make these socks particularly pleasant to wear in summer because they keep the feet cool.

# When should you avoid wearing them?

For those who are very sensitive to cold or people exposed to cold for long periods, Scottish thread will not provide as much warmth as a pair of wool socks. But for people moving from a heated home to a heated office, Scottish thread will be more than sufficient!
