Recycled content is measured by weight of the yarn, not of the finished sock. Sewing thread, elastic and finishing are outside that measurement. We state the basis so the number can be checked rather than believed.
Where this material came from
The recycled share is cotton, pulled from cutting-room and spinning waste and mechanically opened back into fibre. Mechanical recycling shortens the staple length. Sock yarn made this way is less even and less abrasion resistant than yarn made from virgin cotton of the same count. The higher the recycled share, the more pronounced this is.
What we do not state
- No sea area, port, collection point or supplier site — we cannot show evidence for any of those.
- No third-party certification, because none is held for this product.
- No comparison against any other sock, ours or anyone else's.
What to expect from this sock
- Recycled cotton fibre is shorter than virgin cotton fibre. This yarn is therefore less even to the touch and wears through sooner than an equivalent virgin cotton sock. We state this because the difference is real, not because it is a defect.
- No third-party certification is held for this product. The recycled share stated here is the share declared to us by the yarn supplier for the yarn used in this sock.
