This is a question about mens wool crew socks. During COVID I had to change brands from a local maker called Wigwam to Fox River Mills.
The product is pretty much the same except for the top banding. The top banding on the new Fox River pairs is so tight it clearly affects my leg circulation with a noticeable mark much like having a rubber band holding the socks up.
I’m not going to go through returning a partial order even though they are premium price.
Looking at this top band, there appears to be a thin elastic woven into
that top band different from the wool weave. I just want to know if I could use a thread puller to get that elastic out without making the sock sag on top and get my use out of them.
