Let us tell you all about it! First of all, everything starts with the soft fluffy cotton bolls growing on the cotton bush (Gossypium). The bolls are, in fact, protective cases containing cellulose fibers that form around cotton seeds. Surprisingly, each seed can have up to 700 fibers covering it, and these are the ones used commercially. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These cotton bushes grow in tropical and subtropical regions. There are nearly 40 different varieties in total, with four of them favored by producers due to their longer and better-quality fibers. Most of the world\u2019s cotton is grown in the US, Uzbekistan, China, and India, followed by Brazil, Pakistan, and Turkey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the cotton is picked, its fiber is spun into a thread that is used for producing light and breathable textiles. Although the thread is initially white, it is dyed with different colours at the factory. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:auto 28%\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img width=\"663\" height=\"1003\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sokisahtel.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screenshot-2022-01-03-at-10.30.12-2.png\" alt=\"sock factory\" class=\"wp-image-2406 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sokisahtel.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screenshot-2022-01-03-at-10.30.12-2.png 663w, https:\/\/www.sokisahtel.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screenshot-2022-01-03-at-10.30.12-2-198x300.png 198w, https:\/\/www.sokisahtel.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screenshot-2022-01-03-at-10.30.12-2-600x908.png 600w, https:\/\/www.sokisahtel.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screenshot-2022-01-03-at-10.30.12-2-550x832.png 550w, https:\/\/www.sokisahtel.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screenshot-2022-01-03-at-10.30.12-2-370x560.png 370w, https:\/\/www.sokisahtel.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screenshot-2022-01-03-at-10.30.12-2-255x386.png 255w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 663px) 100vw, 663px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\"><h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size\" id=\"what-happens-in-the-sock-factory\">What happens in the sock factory?<\/h2>\n\n\n<p id=\"block-a1b8a2ea-715b-45de-990e-52d98fbc6128\">Firstly, the designers have to think quite a bit and create the designs for the socks. Then, after the creative minutes, suitable threads are chosen and inserted into a sock weaving machine. This time-consuming process requires a lot of concentration because each design element must be set up loop by loop in the machine. Thus, these weaving machines operate 24\/7, whereas the sock factory staff work in shifts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-a1b8a2ea-715b-45de-990e-52d98fbc6128\">As the socks are taken from the weaving machine, both of its ends are open. Thus now, It is time that each of the sock\u2019s toe is sewn together. Sewn socks are then sent into a washing machine where they are rinsed 3,10 times depending on the client\u2019s instructions and the socks&#8217; design. This process helps to extract excess dye from the thread. Meaning the more times the socks are rinsed, the higher their quality.<br>Then the washed socks are ironed on special flat metal plates shaped like feet. Ten seconds on such hot plates gives them their correct and final shape. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignfull is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:30% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img width=\"659\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sokisahtel.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screenshot-2022-01-03-at-10.31.51-1.png\" alt=\"how socks are made in the factory \" class=\"wp-image-2407 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sokisahtel.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screenshot-2022-01-03-at-10.31.51-1.png 659w, https:\/\/www.sokisahtel.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screenshot-2022-01-03-at-10.31.51-1-290x300.png 290w, https:\/\/www.sokisahtel.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screenshot-2022-01-03-at-10.31.51-1-600x621.png 600w, https:\/\/www.sokisahtel.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screenshot-2022-01-03-at-10.31.51-1-550x569.png 550w, https:\/\/www.sokisahtel.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screenshot-2022-01-03-at-10.31.51-1-370x383.png 370w, https:\/\/www.sokisahtel.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screenshot-2022-01-03-at-10.31.51-1-255x264.png 255w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 659px) 100vw, 659px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\"><h3 id=\"how-do-your-socks-get-to-the-shops\" style=\"font-size:17px\">How do your socks get to the shops?<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>After ironing, the socks are divided into pairs by hand, attached to each other, provided with a label and a sticker.

Meaning, in summer it cools you down, and in winter it warms you up! The bamboo fabric does not require any pesticides or fertilisers to grow, and it produces 35% more oxygen than any other plant varieties. Bamboo can be processed both mechanically and chemically. The extensive mechanical processing results in a soft fabric similar to linen. The other option is chemical processing, which requires a considerable amount of additives and therefore results in a less natural bamboo viscose.<\/p>\n\n\n<h4 id=\"cotton\" style=\"font-size:15px\">Cotton<\/h4>\n\n\n<p>Cotton is a soft fibrous material that comes from cotton bushes growing in tropical and subtropical areas. Cotton fibers are spun into yarn or thread  used to produce soft and breathable textiles. Cotton is the most common  natural material used in today\u2019s clothing industry.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:15% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img width=\"160\" height=\"410\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sokisahtel.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Screenshot-2022-02-12-134155-1.png\" alt=\"Organic cotton\" class=\"wp-image-2710 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sokisahtel.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Screenshot-2022-02-12-134155-1.png 160w, https:\/\/www.sokisahtel.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Screenshot-2022-02-12-134155-1-117x300.png 117w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 160px) 100vw, 160px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\"><h4 id=\"organic-cotton\" style=\"font-size:15px\">Organic cotton<\/h4>\n\n\n<p>Organic cotton is cotton whose raw material comes<br>from bushes grown without pesticides and fertilizers.<br>Such cotton farming is practised in India, Turkey, China,<br>and the US.

Depending on its intended use, polyester, cotton, acrylic or viscose is added, along with some chemicals to achieve fine fibers. Special open-end spinning machines developed especially for this purpose are used to make yarn from recycled thread.

This is a great innovation for people who wear tights, as nanofiber tights are soft, light and durable, and look like a second skin. Furthermore, since the tights are ladder-resistant, they are also highly valued among dancers.<\/p>\n\n\n<h4 id=\"3d-fabric\" style=\"font-size:15px\">3D fabric<\/h4>\n\n\n<p>3D tights are made using an innovative 3D (3-dimensional) fabric that is woven horizontally and vertically at the same time. The resulting product has a very uniform finish, is remarkably stretchy, smooth, and silky soft. 3D tights are not as opaque as fabric leggings, but their appearance and possible uses are very similar. Footless 3D tights are very popular and trendy as well.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img
