This is a set of two pairs of socks: knee-high socks that go up to about the thighs, and regular high socks. The knee-high socks have overall wash pilling, with some pilling at the feet. There is some fading on the heels. The high socks don't have as much noticeable wash pilling. There is some pilling at the feet. Both pairs are still wearable, but since I don't wear the high socks, I'm offering them for replacements, indoor wear, or cleaning purposes. Please only consider purchasing if you don't mind the minor imperfections.
