Many pairs of socks are knitted together in a cylindrical shape. After the socks are knitted into one long cylindrical shape, they are separated one by one and cut one by one with shears. Cutting the socks in a single pass is the skill of a craftsman who is well-versed in the characteristics of the material. ※In the case of machines that separate and knit one pair of socks at a time, there is no cutting process.
Although socks look the same at first glance, there are many different types of socks, and the knitting machine is selected according to its application. After that, the customer selects the appropriate yarn for the selected knitting machine and the number of yarns to be used. In the case of circular knitting machines, which are commonly used for socks, knitting is done in a cylindrical shape, starting from the crotch, then the heel, and ending at the toe. Suzuki Socks’ socks are knitted with 84 to 200 needles. In the changing seasons of spring, summer, fall, and winter, everything is not left to the machines in a space where temperature and humidity are maintained but are carefully adjusted by craftsmen who are familiar with the characteristics of the machines to maintain the quality of our precious products.
After knitting, the socks are turned inside out. Due to the characteristics of the circular knitting machine, the socks are hollow from the opening to the toe, and the hollow part of the opening is sewn together using a special Rosso sewing machine. At first glance, this may seem like a simple sewing operation, but in fact, it is an important part of the sock as the way the socks are sewn together can make a big difference to the finished seams. It is the skill of a skilled craftsman to sew each piece together smoothly with the flow of the sewing machine so that it does not look ragged. At this point, the familiar sock shape is finally completed.
