Buying socks may appear simple, but some day while shopping, just stop and
look at the variety. Dozens of types of socks exist. Many are interchangeable
in terms of quality and appearance. Others are designed to meet specific needs.
So let's take a closer look at socks, so purchases can match the needs of individual
wearers and their activities.
Fiber Content
Socks come in a variety of fibers and fiber combinations. Commonly used fibers
include cotton, wool, nylon, acrylic, polyester, olefin, and spandex. Occasionally,
luxury fibers such as silk, linen, cashmere, or mohair will be blended for softness,
but this adds to the cost.
Natural fibers are absorbent. The presence of cotton and wool helps absorb
perspiration. Wool absorbs up to 30% of its weight in moisture before feeling
"wet," making it a desirable choice in winter—but once the fabric
becomes saturated and moist, it feels cold to the wearer.
The term "Natural Blend Cotton" is used on the label of many socks.
These socks have a high content of cotton (60%) with smaller amounts of synthetics,
usually nylon or spandex, for reinforcement or support. Occasionally, linen,
a natural fiber, is knitted into the toe of socks for reinforcement. Linen is
a relatively strong fiber and adds durability as well as absorbency and comfort.
Silk socks are usually quite smooth and absorbent. They make a good layer next
to the skin, but are not very durable.
Synthetic fibers, particularly nylon, are strong and make an excellent choice
for socks which commonly receive hard wear. Besides durability, synthetic fibers
add shrink resistance. Socks may be 100% nylon or reinforced at the toe and
heel with this durable fiber.
