Solmate Socks - Add a
little joy to your day with bright and cheery Solmate Socks. Solmate
creates their yarns by recovering the scraps from the production of
other cotton products, mainly t-shirts. All of the little cotton scraps
are gathered together and ground up so that they can be re-spun into
"new" yarn. The yarns are then knit into fun, colorful socks. All the
yarns are spun and the socks knit in small, family-owned businesses in
the USA. No chemical finishes are used during production and the socks
are certified by Oeko Tex to be free of harmful substances and toxins.
This production process creates eco friendly feet.
Life is too
short for matching socks, especially when you can wear these fun and beautiful
socks! You can buy Multi Patterned and colorful mismatched socks for children,
adults, and now babies from Vermont's Sock Lady.
These socks
are a little something fun for your feet. Whether you wear them all day at
work, save them for snuggling up on the couch at the end of the day or use them
to help keep feet warm at night, a pair of Solmate Socks is a unique gift
that's sure to bring a cheerful smile to the wearer. Socks are great gifts for men and women of
all ages. Start shopping.
Socks are
crafted with care in the USA from recycled cotton. By sourcing our cotton yarns
from recycled materials Solmate is creating an environmentally responsible
cotton product by reducing the amount of virgin cotton that needs to be grown
and at the same time they are helping to reduce landfill waste.

Marianne
Wakerlin, the Socklady is the founder and owner of Solmate Socks. The company
is named after her mom, Sunny, who taught Marianne how to knit when she was
nine years old. Marianne continued a lifelong enthusiasm for knitting, but it
wasn't until she started knitting socks that her real passion was born.
Over the
years Marianne knit over one hundred pairs of socks for family and friends. She
then decided to turn her hobby into a business and in the year 2000 Solmate
Socks was born. Her colorful and complex patterns are knit in the USA at a
family owned knitting mill, hand finished and then "mismatched with
care."
The company
is run in a small town in central Vermont, where the Socklady is surrounded and
inspired by the woods, brook, gardens and hills of the countryside.
