The purest elastic-free 100% organic cotton socks on earth - 100% biodegradable, plastic-free & synthetics-free organic cotton socks! Roll the top down once or twice for a no-show, cleaner look that stays on the foot better (see second photo). 2-ply is stretchier than 3-ply (like CANALTOWN, CREEKMILL); for huggier elastic-free organic cotton socks, choose 3-ply. Notes from the Workshop: Everyone loves the idea of plastic-free, synthetic-free, elastic-free 100% organic cotton socks, but not many people can live without the familiar hugging sensation and compression of "regular" elastic socks: they want synthetic-free socks that behave like synthetic socks. Uh-uh! Natural fibers don't work that way. We have spent years making different versions of elastic-free organic cotton socks. We have now mastered the different yarn specifications and knitting techniques needed to allow for pretty amazing and functional organic cotton socks without elastic and without synthetics. Of course, elastic-free organic cotton socks are never going to be as hugging as socks with elastane and spandex and polyester and polyamide (although our elastic-free 100% organic merino wool socks come pretty close). How could they? (Well, actually, we have also developed a biodegradable natural rubber elastic thread to make our organic elastic socks that look and behave like "regular socks", so maybe you can indeed have your cake and eat it, too, after all.) We created our elastic-free organic cotton socks for customers who NEED latex-free organic cotton socks with NO artificial compression. Many customers also want these organic cotton socks for planetary, health and environmental reasons: they want to live a plastic-free lifestyle away from synthetics that contribute to wide-ranging problems like microplastics in the soil and water. So these elastic-free organic cotton socks are made for them. The rest can make do with our synthetic-free organic elastic socks or our organic socks with some elastic in them which are still way healthier for you than regular socks with all the synthetics and chemicals in them. Elastic-free organic socks are very hard, time-consuming, and expensive to make because we have to finish each pair of socks by hand with organic cotton thread (machines love elastic; they throw a fit at 100% natural fibers; their needles keep getting stuck without elastic "lubrication". Socks with regular elastic are much cheaper to make because machines can make them, saving significant labor. | These 2-ply organic cotton socks are designed for wearing around the house and in bed to keep your feet cozy (many customers put cream on their sensitive skin, and these pure organic cotton socks allow the cream to stay on while not getting it all over household items). These rare & unique 100% organic cotton socks are hand-knitted with 100% organic cotton yarn in part, a labor-intensive way to ensure that no elastic or polyester is used. Our sweatshop-free and polyester-free 100% organic cotton socks are made one piece at a time from the purest organic prima cotton yarns at Rawganique Atelier from start to finish for true purity. Un-dyed & raw unprocessed 100% organic cotton socks created for the organic purist and anyone allergic or averse to synthetic fibers, toxic dyes and elastics; plus organic biodegradable dyes in a range of beautiful colors. Made of a latex-free 100% organic cotton knit that’s stretchy enough to hold on (but not as hugging as synthetic or elastic-laden socks), but loose enough to allow unrestricted circulation in your feet, these world’s first and only, truly pure 100% organic cotton socks are a lot of good things in one package. Non-confining, non-compressing, hypoallergenic, chemical-free, plastic-free, synthetics-free, dye-free, & non-confining organic cotton socks. Our pure organic cotton socks allow free circulation in your feet, unlike elastic socks which could restrict blood flow and circulation to your feet. That’s why they are often used for sleep socks. Even the sewing thread is 100% organic cotton (no polyester!). Our organic cotton socks come packaged in biodegradable cellophane for protection in transit. For everyday wearing & in bed. Unisex S - XL. See more sizing info below.

If you love the feeling of itch-free natural plushness that only organic cotton can provide, these vegan socks are for you. While it won’t be as tighty hugging as nylon/polyester socks, there is a natural stretchiness to our specially curated elastic-free 100% organic cotton knit. Also, a word of caution - the complete absence of synthetic content in these socks makes them less resilient under stress than conventional socks.

Care
Hand wash in lukewarm water or wash in a laundry net bag on delicate cycle (LUKEWARM water is best, not super tap cold, not warm, not hot; product may shrink or become felted at hot temperatures). Gentle biodegradable detergent only. No fabric softeners, no optical brighteners, no bleach. DO NOT put product in the dryer. Lay flat to dry (for knits) or hang to dry (for woven items). Products may retract slightly after washing. Gently stretch out to shape and steam-iron at the correct fabric settings (wool for merino, linen for hemp and linen), if desired (steam will restore fabric to the soft state in which you received them). At the workshop, we pre-wash our fabrics before cutting and sewing them. Then we steam iron each product. We do not use any wrinkle-proofing or anti-shrinkage or no-iron chemicals in any of our products as these forever chemicals (like PFOA and PFAS) are often toxic and harmful. Thanks again for choosing organic, sweatshop-free, and biodegradable!

Customer Reviews

plain socks with personality

I like these socks. they collect samples when i wear them outside. they collect dirt, gravel, debris, you name it, anything small. jump right in. I walked on some gravel-sand in the park and had to stop to empty my sock bags. I have 2 pairs, both comically loose around my ankles. I think they’re pretty charming. They fall right off when i fall asleep with them on. While walking by a mcdonald’s feed store the other day, i had one slide down under my foot. it was disturbing. I refused to stop moving and dug around in my shoe while hopping on my other foot. I pulled up the sock and it felt like i was tugging at a potholder or string. felt like i was ripping it but it was just fine for some reason. they sometimes keep me on my toes. not good for cycling or walking but they're great for sitting around. i like the way 100% cotton feels

Falls down. Within a few minutes the sock is squished under your heel

As described

Exactly as described, zero plastic. Definitely won't be tight against the calf without the elastic unless you have a very thick calf, but it feels very comfy.

Great!

Love these socks

Perfect socks

Pure and clean socks. I love the lack of chemicals and synthetics. So lucky to have access to purity in modern times
