How many socks per pound?
I don't remember... Boot socks cost a fortune in stores and these were heavy... I got such a great deal cause they used the wrong shade of grey yarn in them... or the yarn dye was off slightly... They had nice complette sewed toes in them (easy on the toes compared to the old Turn Sew Turn seams)..I wear them daily and FReep in them (even if wearing little else)...
I keep 2-3 drawers filled with them and yes they do take up lots of space... so when a pile gets good and plump, I make a full load wash with a tiny smidge of clorox thrown in. Wife is happy, I am happy...
