FAQs
Why are natural fiber socks more expensive than synthetic options?
Natural fibres such as mohair, alpaca, merino, cashmere, bamboo and wool are often more expensive to produce than synthetic materials. However, natural fibre socks tend to last longer and provide better comfort and breathability, making them worth the investment.
What is Bamboo Fibre?
Bamboo viscose, also known as bamboo rayon, is made by a process called the viscose process, which involves dissolving bamboo pulp into a viscous liquid and then extruding it through fine holes to create fibres.
- Harvesting and cleaning bamboo: The bamboo plants are harvested and the leaves and bark are stripped away to leave only the bamboo stalks.
- Crushing and boiling: The bamboo stalks are then crushed and mixed to create a pulpy substance.
- Dissolving: The pulpy substance is then heated to create a viscous liquid.
- Extruding: The viscous liquid is forced through small holes to create fibres that can be spun into yarn.
- Washing and drying: The fibres are then washed and dried to remove any remaining chemicals and to give them their final texture.
