Teko Socks Launches Certified-Organic Merino Collection
by Jasmin Malik Chua, Jersey City, USA on 08.26.08
New from Teko this fall: A line of breathable yet buttery soft performance socks made from certified-organic merino wool and recycled polyester.
The wool comes from 20 farms in Argentina that farm organically in accordance to the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) and International Association Natural Textile Industry (IVN) guidelines, which means that no mulesing, pesticides, chemical fertilizers, herbicides, vaccinations, or chemical drenches are employed to keep your tootsties nice and toasty.
Meant for outdoorsy activities like backpacking, cross training, hiking, walking, and cross-country skiing, the socks are expected to retail for between $15.50 to $20.95 per pair and come in both men's and women's styles. ::Teko
