FOCUS ON...
Choosing
the right yarn
It is pretty much was defines the sock. Knowing its properties and its resistance to dye, heat, rubbing, washing…is essential. There are different levels of quality and you can not manufacture socks like you manufacture pullovers. Socks can not be made on all types of machines. For example, the so-called heavy thread or Norwegian socks are made on a mechanical loom with a n°3 gauge and 96 needles; whereas Computer socks with prints are made on electronic machines, mainly with a 14-type gauge.
The various steps
in the manufacturing process
STEP
#1
DESIGNING AND CHOOSING THE YARN
Lisle, cotton, wool, cashmere… more or less thick, colours…
STEP
#2
CIRCULAR
KNITTING
KNITTING
Each sock is made of the main yarn, the one you can touch, as well as plaiting yarn, usually made of elastane / polyamide, and of ribbing to support the sock and yarn on heels / toes.
STEP
#3
Remeshing
Once the sock is knitted, it has to be sewn up. There are various types of remeshing: the Rosso technique, the automatic one and the handmade one.
STEP
#4
SHAPING OR IRONING
The socks are then manually put on a foot-shaped device, they are stretched and ironed in order to stretch the upper part of the sock.
STEP
#5
QUALITY CONTROL, LABELLING AND PACKAGING
The last step consists in checking the quality of the socks before labelling them and packaging them.
