The Recycled Range product names are inspired by lockdown pastimes, we thought the Blue and White should be called the Baker.


Our Recycled Range is made from 50% pre-consumer garment cutting waste cotton, such as t-shirts offcuts, which is colour sorted and spun with 33% polyester from recycled plastic bottles to create an innovative, high quality yarn. The remaining 17% comes when we plate our socks with ECONYL® regenerated nylon that is made from fishing nets and other nylon waste for added durability.


Any 3 pairs from this range for £40. Price automatically updated at checkout.

Made from waste

  • Cotton

    100% cotton t-shirt offcuts are colour sorted and ground down to be re-spun into a sock knitting yarn. This process helps reduce waste and minimise the environmental impact of textile production.

  • Polyester

    The long staple fibres that hold the cotton waste together are made from recycled PET bottles. The resulting yarn is soft, durable, and comfortable to wear, making it perfect for creating high-quality socks.

  • Carpet fluff used to make ECONYL® regenerated nylon

    Econyl®

    We use regenerated nylon from fishing nets, carpet and other post-consumer waste to give our socks stretch and durability. It has the same properties as virgin nylon but is infinitely recyclable.

Soft socks

Socks are soft, slightly on the big side, but not uncomfortably so. They have washed & line-dried well.

Thank you for your feedback Laura. I'll definitely take note on the sizing for future ranges and am pleased to hear that they're not uncomfortable. Thanks for sharing that they also wash and dry well - it's certainly important to consider the washing as well as the wearing.

SUCH a cool present - and superb quality

I wanted to get my friend (who's very environmentally conscious) a really clever, but practical and slightly different birthday gift. He's into everything royal blue, so these were a no brainer.
These super-sustainable socks look and feel great too, but it's the clever darning kit that's the icing on the cake. Thank you Emma; thank you Socko! What a great idea - it's going to make my Christmas shopping for everyone else easy-peasy this year!

It means the world to me to hear Sue! Thank you so much for taking the time to share your lovely words with me and potential Socko customers. Nothing better than cosy eco-toes :D

Amazing product, concept, and people

I could not be happier with these socks. I am a zero waste person who supports small businesses, and when I found you I knew you were just the one: who would send a wee mending kit with the socks? Only someone good, doing something great. Thanks, Socko family 🖤

Kiki you are so welcome. What an awesome review. I'm really touched, thank you.

Great sock

A great sock,well made and has a great idea and passion behind it. Recycled materials made in to what we need-a great sock.
In these times we need to help our small companies keep going and by buying a pair or two that helps everyone along the line.

Your support and your encouragement of others to do the same means such a great deal Iain. Shopping small and local really does make a huge difference. Thank you.

Amazing.

These socks are beautiful and sold, as always, with love and care.

Very pleased they reached you with the love and care I try to place into each and every order Shalom. I'm so pleased you like them.

Bought these as a Christmas present and the recipient loves them! I'm reliably informed that they are comfortable, a great fit and keep the wearer nice and warm. These arrived beautifully wrapped with a lovely note enclosed - a thoughtful detail and yet another reason to shop independent.

Hear hear Charlene! A note is the least we can do to thank you for shopping independent.

So comfortable and attractive, and what a good idea to include a repair kit and access to online workshops via the website (but I doubt that I could darn socks while watching television as Emma suggests!). Also, I was attracted by the ecology / anti-consumerism ethos which is a crucial aspect of these socks.

We'll make a TV darner of you yet James! Thank you for your kind words :)

Snug, soft and a much loved gift 🎁

I purchased 3 pairs for my husband’s birthday and he loves them. The colours are great and he tells me they are very soft and snug. We are both planning to learn the art of darning. I will certainly be buying again. Thank you!!

Such a lovely review Anna, thank you. Always a joy to hear how our socks are received as a gift. I look forward to seeing you and your husband on our darning course soon :)

Can confirm they're as snug as they look :)

So pleased they lived up to expectations - a snug foot is a happy foot :)
