Cashmere Socks

Quince's women's cashmere socks come in three heights — crew socks (mid-shin, the most versatile), ankle socks (the casual cashmere option), and over-the-calf socks (knee-high for dress wear). All in 100% Grade-A Mongolian cashmere, the same cashmere grade used across the broader Quince cashmere line.

Cashmere socks are softer against skin than any other natural-fiber sock material. The hand reads luxurious; the warmth is naturally regulated. For shoppers who already wear cashmere sweaters and accessories, cashmere socks complete the natural-fiber wardrobe. Trade-off: cashmere socks are more delicate than cotton or merino and require more careful washing. Best for elevated everyday rather than active days.

Yes — cashmere has natural insulation properties that retain warmth without bulk. A cashmere crew sock at mid-shin provides meaningful warmth that cotton at the same height can't match. For the coldest outdoor wear (skiing, snow walking), wool blends with synthetic reinforcement perform better; for everyday cold-weather indoor and indoor-outdoor wear, cashmere socks are the elevated warm pick.

Hand wash cool with mild wool detergent for longest life; lay flat to dry. Never tumble dry cashmere (heat felts the fibers and shrinks the sock). Most cashmere socks also handle gentle machine wash on cold in mesh laundry bags to prevent abrasion — check the specific care label. Store folded with cedar to deter moths.
