Mohair Noble Guest Sock – Pink Marl
We make socks in two fibres, alpaca and merino. This is a guest.
A ribbed mohair sock in pink marl, knitted in the UK, with a cushioned sole for hiking and long days working outdoors. Mohair is one of the hardest-wearing natural fibres there is, which is why it's turned up in walking and work socks for as long as people have made them. We had ten pairs, in Medium only. When they're gone, they're gone.
Specification
- 70% mohair, 30% polyamide
- Ribbed leg, cushioned sole
- Colour: Pink Marl
- Size: Medium UK 8-10 only
- Knitted in the UK
Why mohair
- Hard-wearing. Mohair is a strong, resilient fibre that stands up to boots, rough ground and repeated wear.
- Warm. It insulates well, so it suits cold mornings, wet fields and winter walks.
- Drier feet. It moves moisture away from the skin rather than holding it there.
- Fresher for longer. Like other natural fibres, it resists odour, so a pair can usually be aired and worn again between washes.
- Cushioned where it counts. The padded sole takes the jolt out of hard ground and long shifts on your feet.
Best for
- Hiking and walking boots
- Working outdoors: farm, garden, building site
- Dog walks and cold, wet days
FAQ
Why is a mohair sock on a two-fibre website?
Because it's a good sock and we had a few pairs. It's a one-off guest, not a change of direction.
Is it available in other sizes?
No. Medium (UK 8-10) only, ten pairs.
Should I size up or down?
If you're between sizes, size up. Natural fibre relaxes and moulds to the foot over the first few wears, so a little extra room settles into a comfortable fit.
Wash and care
- Hand wash in cool water with a mild wool detergent.
- No bleach or fabric conditioner.
- Do not tumble dry. Reshape while damp and dry flat.
- Airing between wears is often enough.

Care Guide
Alpaca and merino are durable, naturally antimicrobial fibres. A little care keeps them soft and shaped for years.
Wash
- Cool or cold water, gentle/delicate cycle
- Turn inside-out and use a mesh laundry bag
- Mild knitwear/delicates detergent — no bleach, no fabric softener
Dry
- Lay flat or hang by the toe
- Never tumble dry on high heat (causes felting & shrinkage)
- Reshape while damp
Wear & Store
- Wash every few wears, not every wear (alpaca & merino stay fresher longer than cotton)
- Fold flat — don’t roll tightly or stretch the cuff
- Store clean in a breathable drawer; cedar or lavender deters moths naturally
Pilling?
It’s natural, not a fault. Gently remove with a fabric comb or pill shaver — never pull by hand. Pilling reduces after the first few washes.

Real customer stories
"From Gallery Floors to the Apiary"
I spend my working days on my feet, guarding the nation's treasures at the Fitzwilliam Museum — easily 10,000 steps a day walking the gallery floors. Noble Crew socks have become a daily essential. They're warm, genuinely comfortable, and hold up brilliantly to hours of standing and walking without a second thought.
What I didn't expect was how well they'd suit life outside work too. As a hobbyist beekeeper, I wear my Noble socks whenever we do hive inspections — they're just as at home outdoors as they are on museum floors. Whether I'm on duty or tending the hives, my feet stay comfortable all day.
Thoroughly recommend Noble socks — for work, for the outdoors, for everything in between.
Chris Fitzwillaim
After forty years flying commercially, retirement hasn't kept me out of the sky. I still take my Tiger Moth up most weekends, open cockpit and all. At altitude, the cold bites fast — but my Noble alpaca wool socks keep my feet properly warm the whole flight. Lightweight, breathable, remarkably insulating. Simply the best socks I've flown in. Highly recommended.

Salt Air and Sixteen Miles
I walk the old pilgrim paths along the North Norfolk coast most months — wind off the sea, mud underfoot, and never quite the weather you dressed for. These alpaca socks are the reason my feet stop being part of the conversation. Warm when the wind turns, dry even when the boots aren’t, and no blisters after sixteen miles into Wells-next-the-Sea. Simple as that: they let me think about the walk, not my feet.

From Border to Bridleway
Half my week is spent on my knees in the borders, the other half out on the bridleways with the dog. I needed one sock that could do both, and I hadn’t expected to find it.
Noble socks have become the one I reach for without thinking. Soft enough for a morning of weeding, sturdy enough for a six-mile loop by the afternoon — no rubbing, no damp, no fuss.
They’ve earned their place in the boot rack. High praise from someone who owns rather a lot of socks.
