Based in rural Vermont, the good people at Solmate are proud to make all their products domestically, from spinning to dyeing to knitting.
Solmate socks are knit from recycled cotton yarns, which are created by grinding down and re-spinning scraps from the production of other cotton products, mainly t-shirts. The recovered cotton is then blended with 19% nylon and 1% Lycra to add durability to the final product.
The varied color palettes of Solmate socks are inspired by and named for aspects of their surrounding Vermont landscape, e.g. Daffodil, Covered Bridges, and October Morning. The left and right socks share the same color scheme but never match.
Solmate's motto: "Life is too short for matching socks."
