As part of our commitment to zero-waste manufacturing at our mill, we save the loop trimmings from our toe-seaming process for crafters.
Because these are 100% industrial waste, their availability, color mix, size, and fiber blend depend entirely on what socks our mill is knitting at any given moment. We do not make loops; we only collect what production creates to keep it out of landfills.
Very Small Batches: When we have enough waste collected, we list a tiny batch (typically only 6 to 10 boxes at a time).
High Demand vs. Very Low Supply: We currently have over 350 people on the back-in-stock notification list.
How Email Notifications Work: Back-in-stock notifications are sent in small waves. Because batches sell out within hours, a batch usually is sold out before 90% of the waitlist even receives an email.
No Reservations or Backorders: To keep things fair for everyone, our Customer Service team cannot reserve boxes, take pre-orders, hold inventory, or predict when the next mill batch will be ready. Our small customer service team handles sock orders only. They do not have access to loop inventory or mill schedules, nor do they know what colors the loops might be.
Box Size & Weight: 15" x 15" x 13" box (Approx. 12 lbs of mixed loops).
What’s Included: A mystery mix of trimmings- colors, stretch, and fiber blend (cotton, wool, lycra, nylon, poly) can vary.
Sizing & Prep: Loops are raw waste. Sizes vary; but most loops will fit standard 7" or 10" potholder looms.
Note: $12.00 flat-rate shipping applies per box. Not eligible for free shipping thresholds due to heavy weight.

Our socks will shrink a little in their first washing; however, they are knit on the larger size to accommodate this and do stretch out once worn again. We recommend you machine wash your socks on gentle. No bleach. Dry on cool.For a more eco-friendly cleaning process, we recommend you hand-wash your socks and air-dry them.

I call these my utility potholders. Great for those barbecuing days!!!!! I can’t wait to get my next box of Solmate loops!!!!
After sorting my box of loops and determining I had a lot of light and dark grey, I decided to make a rug. The texture feels amazing.

I have loved sorting these with friends, weaving patterns for my books and dyeing them. They have great texture and allow me to provide plenty of materials for students. Most recently, I have woven potholders for out local food pantry! I make potholders, rugs, chair mats and baskets! They were featured in my book "Design &Texture!"
I found out about these loops a little over a year ago. I live on the NW side of Charlotte,NC. Once I found out that y’all
We’re in Hickory,NC, just a hop,skip, and a jump away… I called and went and picked them up. The gentleman brought out a 47 pound box of loops/clips and put them in my car. As I was waiting box my box to come from somewhere in the back, I was able to see where my favorite (addiction) socks come from and how they are made(from the front door) and oh what fun it was. I made all the care givers in the memory care facility, that love and care for my Mama ones for Christmas! They LOVED them. I did them on the 10 inch loom. Thank you so very much.
I was finally able to get a box of sock remnant loops. I immediately sorted it when I opened it. It was so much fun. I got a good mix of large and small loops and a significant variety of colors. The loops add so much character to potholder projects. These are a little thicker and rougher than Friendly loops. I’ve tried a variety of options and I find it is ideal to use a mix of Solmate and Friendly in one potholder. Otherwise the potholder is a little stiff if I only use Solmate loops. Overall, I’m still thrilled with my purchase. This is an incredible value.
