Our Story

From Yarn to Your Brand

SockManufacture is based in Zhuji City, Zhejiang Province — China's "Sock Town", a region that has been knitting hosiery since the 1970s. Growing up inside that ecosystem gave us seasoned knitters, modern machinery and a deep local supply chain. Since 2010, we have turned that heritage into a modern, factory-direct sock service for brands around the world.

Today our floor runs 200-, 168- and 144-needle knitting machines for mesh, rib, cushioned and jacquard construction, backed by an independent sample workshop and a small-orders studio. Every order moves through one controlled line — knitting, sewing, boarding, packaging and warehousing — so your socks are made, checked and packed without being handed between suppliers.

We are a factory, not a retailer. That means no storefront, no competing consumer brand and no middlemen — just factory-direct manufacturing, transparent pricing and socks made to your specification.

What We Make

Manufacturing Capability

One factory, full process control — so your designs become production-ready socks without juggling multiple suppliers.

Fine-Gauge Knitting

200-, 168- and 144-needle sock machines knit mesh, rib, cushioned and jacquard construction — from a simple logo sock to a technical performance style.

Certified Yarns

We source cotton, wool, bamboo, merino wool and polyester from OEKO-TEX certified suppliers, with a wide in-stock colour range that helps you match shades fast.

Sample Workshop

A dedicated sample workshop plus a small-orders studio turn your design into a physical sample quickly, so you approve the real product before bulk.

Five-Stage Production Line

Knitting, sewing, boarding, packaging and warehousing run under one roof, with inspection between stages and a clean hand-off to export packing.

Free Design Service

Our in-house designers build your sock from a logo or idea, with unlimited revisions at no charge until the design is exactly right.

Custom Packaging

Inner labels, tags, plastic bags, boxes and cartons printed with your brand, so your socks arrive retail-ready under your own name.

A Brief History

The Sock, Through Time

A short walk from wrapped feet to made-to-order socks — the craft we now carry forward.

c. 2500 BCE

Wrapped Feet

Ancient Egyptians wrapped their feet in woven cloth and skins — the earliest forerunner of the sock.

2nd Century

Knitted Beginnings

A single-needle knitted sock survives from antiquity, marking the birth of the knit stitch.

1589

The Knitting Frame

William Lee's knitting frame mechanized the stitch and set the stage for the industrial hosiery mill.

1800s

Mass Production

Circular knitting machines turned socks into an affordable everyday essential across the world.

Today

The Custom Era

Brands, teams and retailers design socks knit to order — from 300 pairs, delivered in 4 weeks.
