{"product_id":"hop-hare-bamboo-socks-36-40-ying-yang","title":"Hop Hare Bamboo Socks (36-40) - Ying Yang","description":"\u003cp\u003eA pair of bamboo-blend socks in white with a repeating black motif: the yin-yang symbol ringed with a crescent moon and stars. Made for people who want the softness of bamboo against the skin and a daily reminder of balance, small enough to wear under trousers, visible enough to notice when you take your shoes off.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWhat you'll notice\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe fabric sits soft and breathable against the foot, with the natural drape bamboo fibre is known for.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe yin-yang appears down the length of each sock, framed by celestial detail, crescent, stars, a sense of night sky.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe heel and toe are finished in solid black, so the pattern runs cleanly up the ankle and shin.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eBamboo, nylon and a touch of stretch\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe blend is bamboo viscose, nylon and elastane, which together give a fabric that moves with the foot, holds its shape through the day, and feels cooler in warm weather than pure cotton. Bamboo fibre is naturally moisture-wicking and has a silky hand, qualities that come from the plant itself rather than added treatments.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eThe yin-yang as a daily motif\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe yin-yang is one of the oldest symbols in Chinese philosophy, representing the interdependence of opposites, light and dark, stillness and movement, rest and action. The crescent and stars around it deepen the image, linking the balance to the cycles of the moon and the quiet constancy of the night sky. Worn on a sock, it becomes a small, private touchstone of that idea: that both forces are necessary, and neither exists alone.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eFit and care\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese are sized 36-40 European. The elastane gives enough stretch to accommodate variation within that range. To keep the print sharp and the fibres soft, wash gently in cool water, turn inside out to protect the pattern, and dry flat or hang in shade rather than tumbling. The blend is more delicate than everyday cotton and will last longer with gentler handling.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eA considered gift\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey suit someone who practises yoga or meditation, reads tarot or philosophy, or simply likes a small symbolic detail woven into the everyday. The monochrome palette makes them easy to wear, and the motif gives them meaning beyond function, a quiet gift that asks to be noticed.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eCommon questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill they fit a wider foot?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe elastane gives some give across the width, but if you usually find standard socks tight, these may sit snug rather than loose. The length range is more forgiving than the width.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do bamboo socks feel compared to cotton?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nSofter and cooler to the touch, with a slightly smoother surface. They tend to feel less bulky in a shoe and dry more quickly after washing, but they also need gentler care to keep that softness, no hot water, no tumble dryer.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I wear them for yoga?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYou can, though they have no grip sole, so they will slide a little on a polished floor. They work well for seated practice, meditation, or simply moving about the house with a layer of warmth and intention underfoot.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SHAMTAM","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53927938261306,"sku":"BamS-12F-M","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0756\/8307\/0266\/files\/hop-hare-bamboo-socks-36-40-ying-yang-cover.png?v=1787198424","url":"https:\/\/shamtam.com\/products\/hop-hare-bamboo-socks-36-40-ying-yang","provider":"SHAMTAM","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
