Merino socks are socks that are made of the wool from the Merino sheep. Some of the good qualities of socks being made from this wool are that they breathe better and the wool wicks better than other sock materials made from synthetics.
Harvested wool is called fleece.

It can take a sock made of natural fibers like cotton or wool around 1-5 years to decompose in a landfill, while synthetic socks made of materials like nylon or polyester can take much longer, even hundreds of years. Recycling or repurposing old socks can help reduce environmental impact.
A wool sock is what it sounds like... A sock made from wool... You get wool from a sheep.
It can take anywhere from 20 to 200 years for a jacket made from synthetic materials such as polyester or nylon to decompose in a landfill. Natural materials like wool or cotton may decompose more quickly, depending on environmental conditions.
Wool socks can take around 1-5 years to fully break down in a landfill, as wool is a natural material that decomposes relatively slowly. However, if composted in appropriate conditions, wool socks can break down within a few months to a year.
Your answer depends on the environment where the clothes have remained since 1942. If in a landfill, decay would be quicker than in an environmentally controlled museum exhibit, for example.
Clothes can take anywhere from a few months to hundreds of years to decompose in the environment, depending on the material they are made of. Natural fibers like cotton and wool decompose faster than synthetic materials like polyester and nylon.
The described action will leave the wool sock positively charged, as electrons will be transferred to the glass rod.
A wool sock is made of wool, the source of which is animal fleece.
It could take about 3 months for the first compost to decompose. to get it to decompose faster try to grind or shred it. Please see my comments; but excuse my spelling toward the end, since there are no 'nub tree leaves.' There are however 'Nut Tree Leaves.' Enjoy your dirty finger nails.
