hollington has chosen for you this model of lisle thread socks, finished by hand to offer you the best quality available. The famous lisle yarn has two manufacturing secrets: the first lies in the selection of very long cotton fibres, and the second is mercerization, invented by a young Englishman, John Mercer, in 1844. This treatment standardizes the thickness of the thread and thus improves its functions of solidity and elasticity. Lisle socks are a solid and comfortable basic. Soft and light, they also have thermoregulatory properties. Their contrasting colour at the heel and toe brighten up any outfit. They can be associated with a pair of jeans and casual shoes as well as with smarter clothes.
