Sock WholesalersAnkle socks manufacturer: cotton low cut, knitted to your size grid
An ankle sock finishes at the ankle bone: it shows above the shoe and stops below the calf. Two listed styles carry that height here, one in 100% cotton and one in a cotton and bamboo blend.
The cotton style is listed as 100% cotton, standard thickness, ankle height, breathable, in sizes L and XL, white. The second is a low cut in cotton and bamboo fiber, standard thickness, ankle height, also in L and XL, with a customized pattern.

What these ankle socks are
Height, cuff rib and yarn are the three decisions. The rest is lettering and packing.
Yarn
Cotton at 100% is a decision rather than a default. It takes knitted lettering and print well and feels dry on the foot, and it takes longer to dry after a wash than a polyester blend does. Tell us which of the two your buyer weighs more and the yarn follows.
Cuff rib
The cuff is where an ankle sock either stays up or rolls down. It is knitted as a rib with the elastane content set on the specification sheet, and the rib height is fixed on the sample, because two millimeters decide whether the sock sits above the shoe line.
Lettering
Lettering is knitted into the sock on the machine; embroidery and heat transfer are separate operations with their own cost line. Knitted letters are the simplest route at volume and the one that survives washing longest.
Packing
Packing is the last decision: export packing is standard, and retail packing with your own print is quoted per style.
If you need the sock to disappear inside the shoe instead of showing above it, that is the no-show construction and not this one.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 100% cotton (as listed) | on request | L/XL (as listed) | 1,000 pairs per style | Sampling 3–5 days; bulk 20–30 days | Knitted lettering, cuff logo |

Both yarn lines and both size bands are listing figures for the two styles. Weight per pair and gauge are not listed, so they read on request and are fixed on the specification sheet.
L and XL are the two sizes the two listed styles are catalogued in, not the only two the machine opens. If your grid needs three sizes or four, send the foot-length range behind each one and the band is opened on the specification sheet, with the sample knitted to that band; the costing for that band comes back with the same quotation.
What buyers ask about this style
Which yarn should we choose?
Cotton for a dry hand and sharp knitted lettering; a cotton and bamboo blend for a softer surface on a patterned sock. Both are listed styles. The blend is confirmed on your quotation, since the percentage moves with the yarn lot.
How high does the cuff sit?
Ankle height, meaning the rib finishes at the ankle bone and shows above a low shoe. The exact rib height is set on the sample, because that is the measurement buyers notice first when a pair is pulled on in the store.
Can we knit letters into the cuff?
Yes, and it is the simplest mark at volume because it adds no separate operation. Send the letters or the logo as vector, name the color, and the sample comes back with the mark knitted into the rib for you to approve.
Do you do retail packing?
Export packing is standard. A pair band, a header card, a printed poly bag or a boxed pair are all quoted per style, and the packing line stays separate from the sock price on the quotation, so you can see which part you are paying for.
