Yahae - Japan
Yahae is a small sock factory that has been based in the town of Koryo, Nara Japan since 1921. Yahae's socks are made with no chemical dyes and only natural colors.
About Care
The socks we carry at yahae are carefully knit one by one, paying particular attention to the raw materials, yarn and yarn dyeing methods. Socks are small knits. They can be damaged by the way you take care of them. Although socks are consumable items, we recommend that you wash them according to the following instructions so that you can wear them as long as possible.
The key to caring for your socks is to be as gentle as you would your favorite sweater and to spare no effort in turning them inside out.
1.Turn them inside out
Socks are knitted with two kinds of thread, upper threads and under threads. Protein-based stains (such as skin cells and cuticles) are often rubbed off on the under threads. As those entangled stains are hard to wash off with only detergent, it is more efficient to turn socks inside out and scrub by hand. By turning inside out, the bacteria from protein-based stains are prevented, which prevents odors. It also protects the upper threads, which use natural fiber, from being worn out by friction.
2.Wash by hand or with a lower spin speed
While hand-washing is our recommendation, when you’re unable to do so, put them in a laundry net and wash with a lower spin speed of your washing machine. Be sure to set it to a hand-wash cycle or delicate wash cycle and use a mild detergent.
3.Dry in shade with the cuffs up
In order to prevent the rubber from deteriorating, dry with the elastic cuffs up. You can dry them inside out. To keep the fabric and elastic from getting damaged, we recommend air-drying in the shade and to avoid direct sunlight. Do not leave them hung for long after drying, but store in a clothes storage box, etc.
*Items using alpaca or wool
As it is a particularly delicate material, be sure to use a mild detergent and air-dry them. Do not tumble dry.
