Product & Care FAQs
Q: I have an idea for a sock design. How do I submit it?

A: Visit the Creative Membership section of our website to explore the program in detail. Review the information carefully, then follow the steps provided to complete your enrollment.
Q: Why do the socks feel fuzzy on the inside?
A: Tammy McCray Art Socks are jacquard woven, a technique that creates intricate patterns through layered yarns. This construction results in a soft, textured interior while maintaining structure, durability, and visual depth on the outside.
Q: What does jacquard mean?
A: Jacquard refers to a weaving technique in which the pattern is woven directly into the fabric, rather than printed on the surface. This method allows for intricate designs, depth, and lasting quality.
Q: Will the sock unravel on the inside?
A: No. The interior threads are securely cut and tied off during the knitting process. They are intentionally intertwined to create softness, comfort, and structural integrity without unraveling.
Q: What size sock should I order?
A: Please use the following size guide:
-
Medium (M): Shoe size 6 – 8.5
-
Large (L): Shoe size 9 – 12
-
