Combed cotton socks: what the texture tells you

Combed describes the yarn preparation

In these TITTIMITTI adult socks, combed cotton refers to cotton prepared to remove shorter fibres for a smoother, more uniform yarn. It does not name the visible knitting pattern. The main knitted fabric is 100% organic combed cotton, and the linked models are made in Italy.

Ribbed describes the knitted structure

The vertical ribbed appearance is a separate feature of these crew socks. A photograph can show that texture, but it cannot establish a millimetre thickness, compression level or a universal temperature rating. Choose them for their published everyday construction rather than treating the word combed as a promise of athletic performance.

Keep fit and texture as separate decisions

The women’s three-pair pack comes in EU 36–38 or 38–40. The men’s three-pair pack uses EU 39–42 or 43–46. Check the range against your current fit and the room in the shoes you intend to wear. The cuff can be worn normally or folded; folding changes its appearance and height, not the declared fibre of the main fabric.
