What are the fabrics of socks and what to use to clean them

Socks are one of the essential clothing items. There are many styles of socks, and different socks are made of different fabrics. Wearing socks can protect the feet and prevent foot odor. It is necessary to choose good quality socks.

The fabric of the socks is mainly made of cotton and various fiber materials. The socks made from them are particularly beautiful and comfortable to wear. They are also very light when walking in, and are also very breathable for people who often sweat on their feet.

You can use soap or laundry detergent to wash dirty socks. During the washing process, you need to rub it repeatedly with both hands until it is clean, and then wash it with clean water. In this way, the socks can be washed cleanly without any dirt, and there is a faint fragrance in it.

1. Pure cotton fabric

When pure cotton fabric touches the flame, it burns quickly and turns into ash in an instant. After leaving the flame, the remaining part will continue to burn, and the remaining ash is grayish white. If you twist it with your hands, it will be fine and loose, and you can smell the smell of burning paper in the air.

2. Wool fabric

When wool comes into contact with flames, it burns slowly, and the ashes are black and feel crispy when you twist them with your hands. Since wool contains protein, there is a strong odor in the air after it is ignited.

3. Velvet fabric

Velvet is a relatively high-grade fabric for socks, but sock manufacturers take into account the different grades of consumers and the velvet content in each type of socks is also different. You should know that when you stretch the two ends of the socks with both hands, the better the elasticity, the higher the velvet content. Velvet socks look smoother, feel soft and comfortable when worn, especially close to the body, and the socks can be worn for a longer time.

1. Nylon stockings: They have been popular for half a century due to their high strength, good wear resistance and good elasticity.

2. Core-spun yarn: It is a popular raw material for stockings on the market. It refers to spandex core-spun yarn formed by covering or winding nylon yarn on spandex yarn. Stockings woven with core-spun yarn not only have the softness of nylon yarn, but also have the advantage of high elasticity of spandex.

3. Velvet stockings: The raw materials are all unidirectional core-spun yarn or bidirectional core-spun yarn. The woven socks have high elasticity, soft touch, and fine transparency, better than nylon stockings. They are visually elegant, durable and wear-resistant, slightly matte, and warm.

4. Ultra-thin velvet socks: Made of high-tech ultra-fine fiber fully elastic silk that is softer than hair, it has a dense and delicate texture, feels as smooth as silk, is crystal clear, and has good breathability.

5. Combed cotton: In the process of cotton fiber processing, the fibers are combed by a combing machine to almost completely remove all kinds of impurities in the fibers. The fabric spun with this kind of cotton will feel better.

6. Mercerized cotton: refers to the mercerization process of raw cotton fiber in a concentrated alkaline solution under certain tension conditions. The cotton fiber that has been mercerized has the advantages of better gloss, more comfortable hand feel, and relatively less prone to wrinkles than the raw cotton fiber, while the performance of other physical indicators remains unchanged.
