Maria Long is the knee-high version of our softest and fluffiest Maria socks — naturally insulating, breathable and beautifully gentle on the skin. Designed for comfort rather than abrasion, these thick wool–alpaca socks are perfect for wearing indoors, keeping warm in bed, or layering under boots on cold winter days.
🌾 Undyed Natural Colour Options
| Colour | Description |
|---|---|
| Brown | Soft grey-brown |
| White | Creamy fleece white |
| Beige | Light oatmeal tone |
| Grey | Natural mid-grey |
Please note: Maria Long socks are cosy but not hard-wearing. They shine in quiet moments — mornings at home, evenings by the fire, or slipping into bed with warm toes.
