Socks Manufacturer

You wear them to dress up your outfit, keep your feet warm, avoid blisters, lounge around the house and often seem to lose one in the pair. Socks have been worn for thousands of years and have come a long way in terms of function. Now made in endless patterns, materials, shapes, and sizes, there’s a sock type for practically every situation and activity. 

Cotton is the most common material that socks are made of. Cotton has a variety of benefits in that it is soft, breathable, and has natural moisture-wicking properties. However, 100% pure cotton socks do not exist anymore (despite what most brands lead you to believe on their websites). The fact is, socks are never made from 100% cotton for several key reasons. 100% cotton is inelastic, shrinks when washed, and is not always durable. Thus, common, “100% cotton,” socks typically range from 70% to 85% cotton content. The remaining material is a blend of other fiber types like spandex, polyester, acrylic, or nylon. This blend makes socks more elastic, wearable, and comfortable.
