But what is the difference between the wool of our furry animals?
Camel wool
Once a year, the camels in Mongolia are shorn. Finer and warmer than sheep's wool, in natural shades of beige and brown - undyed wool from camels from the deserts of Mongolia.
Sheep wool
The fibers are stronger and therefore more robust than camel and yak wool. In addition, sheep's wool can be dyed - the perfect base material for our socks.
Yak wool
Our most exclusive noble fiber nestles like cashmere. Only the finest undercoat of the animals is obtained by combing - undyed wool of yaks from the mighty mountain regions of Mongolia.
From a student project to a growing business
Our story
Steppenstrolch starts as a student project. On the way home from his stay abroad in Mongolia, Malte packs a backpack full of socks. Camel wool had kept him warm during the cold Mongolian winter. Suddenly, everyone around him couldn't wait to get their hands on the woolen socks.
Over a drink on the town hall square in Aachen, the idea of founding a company was born, and that's when things really took off.
From an idea to the first order
Our Story
Steppenstrolch started as a student project. On his way back from staying abroad in Mongolia, Malte brings a backpack full of socks with him. Camel wool has kept him warm during the cold Mongolian winter, and his family and friends are just as excited about these extraordinary socks.
