These novelty crew socks feature yarn-dyed designs, meaning the animal and food graphics are woven directly into the fabric rather than printed on top. This prevents the images from cracking or peeling when the sock is pulled onto the foot. The 200-needle count construction allows for high-resolution patterns, though it results in a thinner overall yarn diameter compared to standard athletic hosiery.
Specifications show a material blend of 80% cotton, 15% nylon, and 5% spandex. While the high nylon content adds to the material's strength, it can also reduce the rate of moisture wicking. The cuff is designed with high-elasticity ribbing, but tests indicate it is subject to permanent stretching if dried at high temperatures or worn on calves larger than 14 inches in circumference.
To maintain the best fit, it is helpful to air-dry these units, as the internal elastic threads can become brittle when exposed to extreme dryer heat.
The interior sole is prone to pilling due to the use of lower-staple cotton fibers. For a more cushioned experience with fun graphics, the Glcmxmart Food series offers a similar aesthetic with different material reinforcement.
