The simplest way to understand the thickness of socks is through the most common plush weaving method, commonly known as towel socks and woolen socks. Woolen socks must be thicker than regular flat socks. But we still attach great importance to thickness!
The thickness of woolen socks depends on the following factors:
1. The height of the pile.
This is easy to understand. The higher the loop, the thicker the thickness. Usually, the pile height is 3-4mm, with a few reaching 2-3mm to control costs. Sports socks used for badminton or high thickness sports socks usually require 5 millimeters. This is often referred to as high cost in factories and is a waste of labor. Therefore, use high-quality sports socks. If a higher cycle is required, it is usually necessary to modify the sock machine and use special needles, which requires more time and effort. Therefore, in addition to high priced branded socks, NBA's elite sock series may also use higher priced Terry.
However, personally, I do not recommend that you only pursue thickness. Due to the fact that all materials are transformed within their limits, thickness represents wear resistance, friction resistance, and shock absorption. However, if it exceeds a certain level and only pursues thickness, problems such as tight blockage between sports shoes, increased thickness between high heels, and lack of feedback and freedom for agile movements may arise.
Of course, in the current context of a lack of high-quality sports socks, many consumers prioritize thickness because it is not thick.

2. The quantity of yarn.
The yarn used to weave socks is like twisting hemp rope. Whether two yarns are one or three, they must be different. This consumer is unaware. However, there is still a perception of physical objects. Woolen socks woven with three pieces of yarn must be stronger than those woven with two pieces of yarn. The most intuitive understanding is that there is a one-third gap in raw materials. However, if consumers do not compare, it is impossible to distinguish the difference between three threads and two threads.
Especially in an environment centered around online mail order, you may not even see the real thing, but this special sports sock always uses three threads. Although users may not see better quality, they may not know the reason.
3. Yarn counting.
The counting quantity is only understood as the thickness of each line.
The yarn count for regular sports socks is 32. The larger the value, the finer the yarn, such as 40. The smaller the value, the thicker the yarn, such as 24.
Due to the fact that thicker yarn weaving is usually a low-quality cotton thread, to draw high thread (fine yarn), the material must be delicate enough. Therefore, the home textile industry highly respects high scoring lines. Due to its skin friendliness, better comfort, and more delicate texture.
However, I have already tried 40 pairs of sports socks. They are indeed very delicate, but the best balance point for sports socks may be 32.
4. The density of socks.
The parameter settings of this sock machine usually indicate that the higher the density, the tighter the socks, but as long as the touch texture is more conceptual, it cannot be felt.
