Crafted in the historic Nara Prefecture of Japan, these heavyweight socks blend Merino wool and organic cotton for ultimate comfort and durability. With roots dating back over a century, each pair balances artistry and craftsmanship, utilizing specialized knitting machines operated by skilled artisans. Ideal for those seeking a touch of luxury, these socks promise warmth and style. Care instructions recommend a cold wash and hang dry, ensuring longevity and quality in every wear.
From the brand: Everyone assumes that modern socks are just blasted out by hosiery robots somewhere humid with cheap labor. The truth is that knitting machines are complicated, and required highly skilled labor to run; and that there is a wide spectrum of these machines in use out there.
RoToTo works with factories around the Nara Prefecture and Goryocho village. Sock making began there over 100 years ago with a single machine brought home from the USA. Every one of their socks are careful balance between yarns, machines, and craftspeople. Even the most state-of-the art machines require operators who understands the nuances of the product being made.
