Usually, we prefer to wear socks made of pure cotton, but is pure cotton 100% cotton. The answer from the sock making expert is negative, that is, there are no 100% cotton socks. If the composition of a pair of socks is 100% cotton, then these socks have no elasticity at all, and the sock cuffs need to be woven very wide to fit in. It can be imagined how uncomfortable these socks are. 100% cotton socks have a particularly high shrinkage rate, are not sturdy and durable. 100% cotton socks are not called cotton socks, they are called cotton. Usually, socks with a cotton content of over 75% can be called "all cotton socks", and socks with a cotton content of 85% are considered very high-end cotton socks. Other functional fibers need to be added to maintain the elasticity, fastness, and comfort of the socks. Polyester, spandex, and nylon are all very common functional fibers.
2. Spandex
Spandex is commonly known as elastic fiber, which has high elasticity and strong elasticity. Its stretching length can reach 5 to 7 times that of the original fiber, and textile products added with spandex can maintain the original contour for a long time. The ingredients of socks must contain spandex to make them elastic and retractable, making them easy to wear and making them more close to the feet, just like a swimsuit that can tightly wrap around the feet without slipping off.
3. Three liter healthy fiber
Three liter fiber is a natural fiber that extracts its unique health elements from natural ores, green plants, and marine organisms, and is refined through European processes. It has excellent health functions.
4. Nylon
Nylon is a synthetic fiber with Chinese characteristics, and people are more familiar with its other name: nylon. Tsk tsk, we have a relationship with DuPont again. The scientific name of nylon is polyamide fiber, and the first factory in China to synthesize this fiber was Jinzhou Chemical Fiber Factory, so it was named "nylon". Nylon and nylon have similar properties and are sturdy and wear-resistant, making them the most wear-resistant and sturdy among synthetic fibers. It is very lightweight and has good elasticity. Adding nylon to socks can maintain high strength elasticity.
5. Nylon
Nylon was the first synthetic fiber to appear in the world. The emergence of nylon has brought a new look to textiles, and its synthesis is a major breakthrough in the synthetic fiber industry.
6. Bamboo fiber
Bamboo fiber fabrics also have the characteristics of being soft, elegant, and comfortable to touch, and are wear-resistant, non pilling, moisture absorbing, quick drying, and breathable. What sets it apart from viscose fibers such as cotton and wood is its excellent antibacterial properties and health benefits. Bamboo fiber contains an antibacterial substance called "Zhukun", which has natural antibacterial, anti mite, and anti odor drug properties.
