Production of the Woollen socks Before you as a customer can wear these socks, they have gone through countless steps. First, the yarn is purchased from an Italian manufacturer and dyed in the correct colour. All socks are made under the OEKO TEX® quality mark, which means that no chemical toxins are used in the dyeing process of the yarn. Then the socks are knitted on circular knitting machines, after knitting the finishing is done manually. When this is completed, the socks are washed in bundles. This is necessary for a stronger yarn and to avoid most of the shrinkage at the customer. After washing, the socks are ironed on a heated metal mould.
