"168N combed cotton seamless" is a textile term that describes a certain type of embroidery. The term consists of several parts which can be interpreted as follows:
This refers to the number of needles in a knitting machine – that is, 168 needles. The more needles, the denser and finer the sock can be. 168N is often used in the manufacture of socks, underwear and other garments where seamless technology is applied.
Combed cotton is a high-quality form of cotton where the fibers are combed after carding. This removes shorter and uneven fibers, making the fabric/socks softer, stronger and more durable than carded cotton.
Seamless means that the garment is made without traditional side seams. This provides better comfort, reduced friction against the skin and a more flexible sock/garment. This technology is often used in sportswear and underwear, but now also in socks!
"168N combed cotton seamless" describes a textile garment that is made of combed cotton with a fine mesh density (168 needles), and without side seams for increased comfort and quality. It is a soft, durable and body-hugging garment that we at Svensk Husman use on socks.
