What is the best way to stop my Wigwam wool socks from pilling?
Wigwam suggests that you launder your Wigwam socks inside out.
Should I use fabric softener on my Wigwam socks?
In styles that are classified as moisture moving, the fibers are made up of channels. The channels are used to move the moisture away from the foot and after time liquid fabric softener will get trapped in the channels causing the Wigwam socks not to wick as it was designed.

I bought two pairs of the same style Wigwam socks and one is smaller than the other. Why?
This can be caused by a number of things: Wigwam has a 1/2" (+/-) tolerance set for length, possibly a cone of yarn has more stretch than the last, tension on the machine, or the size of the stitch.
I bought a pair of socks and the toe seam split open as soon as I put my foot in them. Why would this happen?
When the Wigwam socks are knit the toe seam is sewn shut. At times the toe seam does not get sewn shut properly and when your foot is inserted into the Wigwam sock, the tension from your foot pops open the toe seam.
I have tails stick out of the stitching in Cool-Lite Hiker Pro Quarter (style F6066). Why is this?
Once this Wigwam style was washed tails on latter stitch would pop out, Wigwam has corrected this by changing the yarn that is used in that sport sock.
Why are the heels wearing out?
It could be because the Wigwam socks are too large or your shoe/ boot is too large or has a rough spot in it. In both cases, excessive abrasion takes place on the heel, causing a hole.
Why am I getting holes in the toe of my Wigwam socks?
The most common reason that people get holes in the toes of Wigwam socks is because their nails are too long. This creates holes in the sock.
The toe seam is bulky in my socks?
Wigwam has a select number of styles where the toe seam is closed on a sewing machine. At times the person running the machine will make the toe seam too thick to ensure it does not open.
