The Story
Please allow us to dedicate several lines to your newest sock model. It would be difficult to find a shape more popular than the circle. Plato saw it as a symbol of perfection, Aristotle equated it with harmony and Dante Alighieri, in his Divine Comedy, describes God himself as a circle, whose centre is everywhere and whose perimeter is nowhere. Too bad his masterpiece did not contain an illustration to give the reader a better idea of how that works.
Next to this all-around praise, one phenomenon feels quite irreverent: the criticism of semicircles. Trust us, this is no abstract geometric wishy-washiness but something applicable in practice as well. You have surely received many best wishes for the new solar cycle. But how many people wished you a happy half-year?
Sure, you could say that a New Year’s wish contains within it a wish for not one but two successful semi-annual periods. But, in that case, why not just wish each other a happy decade? Years comprise a decade the same way that six-month increments form a year. Surely the reason is that we look for a form of closure.
And since we Sockfellows revel in tending to the unjustly overlooked, we have created, for your enjoyment, a design with the much-neglected semicircle. I believe you will see in it not only harmony but also perfection. Please also allow me to be the first person to wish you two new semi-years with exactly those same properties.
Material
Each sock is made up of 85% cotton yarn. In order to improve the sock’s tensile strength, we added 5% polyamide.
The remaining tenth is composed of Lycra and polypropylene, which form the skeleton of the sock. The latter takes care of tensile strength, while the former provides elasticity and antibacterial protection.
Wishing you many pleasant steps and half-steps,
Your Supreme Sock Council
