Kingly has repurposed offcuts from its sock knitting production into practical doorstops and interior decorations.
With Stanislav Zapryanov, maintenance engineer at Kingly, alongside guest sock engineers Jonathan Pears and Andrew Thompson all leading the project, Kingly’s advanced compression machine, originally designed for producing compact T shirt and towels, has been leveraged to transform offcuts into functional products.
During the sock manufacturing process, small remnants of materials are produced. The offcuts include a blend of cotton, nylon, Lycra, elastane, polyester, polypropylene, and more.
In most sock factories, these mixed-fibre offcuts would be sent to a landfill, as they are not recyclable.
By employing various shapes, it turned what would have been waste into valuable items for everyday use.
