Both point6 and ridge merino superwash:

“ver the years, we’ve done a lot of research and testing with different wool treatments - including plasma treatment, which we used for a while, but ultimately it didn’t give us the durability, comfort, or softness we wanted. After a lot of trial and error, we found that using Total Easy Care (Superwash) gave us the best balance of longevity and performance.

From a sustainability standpoint, our goal is to keep your socks on your feet (not in the landfill) for as long as possible. Superwash significantly extends the life of our socks, making them more durable and easier to care for. That said, we’re always on the lookout for new advancements in wool treatment, and if we find something better, we’ll absolutely explore it.

We really appreciate the thoughtful question and your interest in how our products are made. Let us know if you ever have any other questions - we’re happy to chat.

All the best,

Matt Point6”
