That is true. The main reason is that the price of underwear-grade cotton yarn is very high, which is three times that of ordinary cotton yarn. So many designers believe that is unnecessary because it will increase the cost of thigh high socks by 200%.
We have some different views. We believe that thigh high socks are not the same as ordinary socks. Thigh high socks have to touch the sensitive skin of the thighs, and they need to be softer more than ordinary socks. The thigh high socks made of underwear-grade cotton yarn are not only softer more, they are generally more pure and shiny in color. Because of their higher cotton content, they are more likely to resist shrinkage, and they seldom deform. After washing, they will be in a uniform shrinkage state, This of course will increase the durability of the thigh high socks.
So starting from August 2019, all of Kayhoma's thigh high socks are woven from underwear-grade cotton yarn. They are soft, thick, shiny, and not easily deformed after repeated washing.So it is necessary to visit Kayhoma first if you plan to buy a pair of thigh high socks.
