Abstract

Socks are a basic need of human and also very important factor for human health. Socks are knitted fabrics that are made on single and double cylinder hosiery machine. There are many types of socks, and the most common division according to purpose is women's, men's, children's, sports socks and tights. The raw material composition of socks depends on their purpose. Short socks are one of the few clothing textiles that are made from at least three different raw materials, cotton, polyamide and elastane. Polyamide textured multifilament yarn and elastane are added to increase the elasticity of the socks. Depending on the purpose, wool or other fibers can be used instead of cotton. Thermophysiological comfort of socks is very important parameter for usage performance of socks. This significance even increased when we underwent a work of low or high activity. It causes the sweating of our body with different rates. The structure, the characteristics of the knitted fabrics as well as the raw material composition of the yarn significantly affect the technological production process and ultimately the quality of the socks. Socks are not just simple accessories in everyday clothing, but represent modern and unique pieces of clothing that constantly follow all fashion trends. In this paper, a brief overview of the types of socks, as well as the international marking of the sizes of shoes and socks, was made. In addition, an analysis of the scientific research was made to assess the influence of the raw material and the characteristics of the knitted fabrics on the properties and quality of the socks. The results show that the socks are dimensionally unstable and after several washing cycles during use there are changes in the dimensions that depend on the raw material composition and the type of yarn as well as the characteristics of the knitted fabric. Socks made of cotton and polyamide yarn (PA6) should be washed at a lower temperature to avoid the large changes in the transverse and longitudinal dimensions of the socks.
