The sock is part of Smartwool's innovative Second Cut™ project. In this project, old socks are collected, shredded and turned into new ones. The new yarn consists of 50% sock waste and 50% new merino wool. The unknown mixed fabric is the sock waste. As a wide variety of socks come together here, it is not easy to determine the exact proportion of each fiber, nor would it be constant.
