ZQ sheep graze on pastures in ‘free range’, extensive farming conditions in the high country hills of New Zealand, the outback of Australia, the green plains of South Africa or the mountainous terrain of South America. By choosing ZQ products, you can be confident that the sheep producing the wool are humanely treated, well fed, live natural and healthy lives, and not subjected to mulesing, which means you’re also getting fibre of the very highest quality and performance.

Why not 100% cotton?
You always need spandex for stretch and to hold the socks up (otherwise they would fall). Polyamide is used for strength and stretch. It is rare to find 100% or even 98% cotton as these tend to shrink a lot more in the wash and don't have the strength to last wear. If your concern is whether our socks are suitable for sensitive feet, read this article of ours here!
How should I care for the socks?
Socks are best kept out of the dryer (if possible) but we know as busy moms that’s probably NOT going to happen. We recommend washing our socks at or below 30°C (cool/luke warm wash) to maximize longevity.
Why should you buy certified organic socks for your baby, toddler or kid?
Buying organic cotton socks or clothing goes beyond caring for our environment. The amount of toxins in children’s clothing is astonishing. Take socks for example, a recent study found 9/10 socks had traces of BPA and Parabens – chemicals that are hormone disruptors and have been linked to variously illnesses. By buying certified organic you are purchasing socks that have been tested free of any harmful toxins or chemicals at every stage of the production process.
What does GOTS certified organic cotton and how is it different from regular organic cotton?
The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) is the worldwide leading textile processing standard for organic fibres, backed up by independent certification of the entire textile supply chain. It is essentially the “gold” standard of organic cotton. You can read more about the certification here
Eczema in baby’s feet? What causes eczema for babies and kids and how is it related to the socks they wear?
Irritation from sweat, from socks, and friction is a major cause for foot eczema. What can you do? Make sure the socks are of a high cotton content and breathable. Besides the socks, it is also important to make sure the shoes your baby wears is breathable. It is also good practice to change babies and kids socks often especially if they are in their socks and shoes all day every day.
Are our socks suitable for babies / kids with eczema?
While we cannot claim or guarantee that our socks will be 100% suitable for babies and kids with eczema we have a number of customers whose babies and kids suffer from eczema and have had no issues or flare ups with our socks. In fact, our founder, Melita’s son suffered from severe eczema and reactions to certain socks in the market. This encouraged Melita to create socks that were 100% breathable and with the maximum organic cotton content to avoid moisture being trapped in – the leading cause of foot eczema in babies, kids and adults.
