The document discusses sock manufacturing questions and answers. It addresses sock yarn count and its effects on abrasion resistance and cost. It provides recommended minimum stretch measurements for sock cuffs in children, ladies, and men's sizes. The document also discusses how changing needle size versus yarn count can impact sock elasticity and tightness. It recommends elastic type and steaming to improve cuff elasticity and shape. Finally, it includes sock measurement requirements for basic and golf socks according to KappAhl.

1. 1. Which classification socks are
appropriate for yarn count 32/2 ply??
Answer:
We can use count 32/2 on any
computerized sock.
2. What advantage can we prefer to have
by 32/2 ply?
Answer:
- 32/2 count itself is very heavy and it is
generally used to ensure HIGHER abrasion
resistance & long durability.
- Most retailers in Europe do not use 32/2
as it increases the cost of yarn, instead they
use a higher TPM (twist per multiplier)
yarn on 20/1 to get a similar abrasion
result.
 Questionnaire

2. 3. What should be minimum stretch
measurement for cuff opening?
Answer:
Other customers follow below standard;
a) For children,
stretch mmt s/b: 18-19 cm
b) For Ladies & Men’s,
Stretch mmt s/b: 20-21 cm
Note: We need advise what stretches are
essential for Sweden.
 Questionnaire

3. 4. For more elasticity or soft/loose knitting
what will affect if we change yarn count?
Answer:
- Changing yarn will not give any result
but using different needle machine can
make socks loose knitted.
Please noted socks will look a bit wider
then!
5. For more tight or for more loose what
does it depend actually??
Answer:
- the steaming helps the socks to be more
softer, stretchy.
- It would also improve the shape.
 Questionnaire

4. 6. How to improve cuff opening
tighter but softer elasticity with good
recovery??
Answer:
- Generally 70/90D Elastic is used on
cuff for maximum customers.
- But changing yield (density) of
spandex elasticity can be improved.
- It can also be improved by steaming
the socks properly.

6. How socks measures

7. For basic socks-
KappAhl requirement- 16 cm
For golf socks
KappAhl requirement- 16 cm
A. Foot Length

8. Plain basic socks-
KappAhl
requirement- 16 cm
Golf Socks -
KappAhl requirement- 6 cm
B. Height

9. Plain basic socks-
KappAhl requirement- 16
cm
Golf Socks -
KappAhl requirement- 8.5 cm
C. ½ width at lower wrist

10. C1. ½ width at wrist
Plain basic socks-
KappAhl requirement- 8 cm

11. D. ½ width at top relaxed
Plain Basic socks-
KappAhl requirement
is 7 cm

12. E. Rib Height
Plain Basic socks-
KappAhl requirement
is 2 cm.

13. Plain & Terry Socks construction
- The difference
between plain &
terry socks is
absent of loop at
the end.
- Plain socks having
joint in every loop
& cannot open or
come out.
- On the other hand
terry socks having
open end after
knitting.

14. Thank you to be with me
such a long time & Having a
Great day!
Good
bye!!
