process, recycled cotton is also used to make socks. Though recycled, these are known for
their durability and moisture resistant properties.
– This is a cotton yarn obtained after a specialized finishing process
known as mercerizing. This material has more shine and is soft when compared to regular or
organic cotton.
– Combined cotton is additionally treated to remove any impurities or
fibers to produce strong and straight cotton material. This variety of cotton is ideal for
weaving, and the socks made using this are very soft and do not fray easily. Socks made of
combined cotton are expensive when compared to those made using regular cotton.
Wool is the most used material for manufacturing socks, only after cotton. The wool used is
obtained from sheep or other animals and is of premium quality. Each of the wool fiber used
is made using a number of coiled springs, that when stretched bounce back to their original
shape. Socks made of wool are also wrinkle resistant and breathable.
Wool yarn is often used to create thicker socks, mostly used during winters as they are bulky
and lofty. Wool is great as an insulator as well and also keeps the feet of the user dry – thanks
to their moisture absorbing nature. Socks made of wool are ideal for hiking and adventure
activities.
Stance uses premium quality wool that is known for its luxurious softness. Unlike the regular
wool, this does not itch or shrink even after repeated use and washings. The socks made
using premium quality wool are exceptionally comfortable and are known for their
colorfastness as well.
