Women's combed cotton socks

At Four Cottons, all our socks are knitted from combed cotton, the highest-quality cotton there is.

This quality comes from the process its fibres go through before they are turned into yarn.

How combed cotton is made

Once harvested, the cotton goes through a process made up of several stages.

First, it is cleaned to remove any seeds or plant debris. Once free of these impurities, it is carded, which separates the fibres and lines them all up in the same direction.

The cotton is then combed: very fine brushes remove the remaining residue and the smallest fibres to produce combed cotton. All the shortest fibres are removed in this process, discarding up to 15% of the cotton.

After this process, only the longest, straightest fibres remain, and these are the ones used for the cotton yarn.

Why combed cotton is softer and stronger

This process makes combed cotton softer, as it has no impurities or protruding threads, and stronger, because the shortest fibres are removed during combing.

Together, these benefits make it a more exclusive cotton.

How to care for your combed cotton socks

Caring for the combed cotton Four Cottons uses to knit its socks is practically the same as caring for regular cotton.

It can be washed and dried at any temperature, but it is a good idea to give garments made from this fabric a little extra care.

To extend their life, wash them at a warm temperature with a mild detergent. When tumble drying, it is best to take the garments out before the end of the cycle so the cotton fibres can settle.
