Gara-bou Socks are made using a throstle-spun yarn from recycled organic cotton scraps, resulting in a rich, hand-spun texture. The raw material is carefully selected cotton waste from internationally certified organic cotton which is not processed with softeners or other chemicals during the yarn-making process. Gara-bou (throstle frame) is a spinning method invented in 1876, in Japan, it was created in a time when textiles were at a premium, to recycle fibre waste such as lint as yarn. Garabou spinning materials cannot be knitted with a normal knitting machine because of the uneven thickness. This sock has been made on a remodelled 60-year-old sock knitting machine, it is a technique unique to Yamaya sock factory.
