HOiSUM Crew Socks - WYP Collaboration

WYP (Waste Yarn Project) is a studio that creates one-of-a-kind knitwear from leftover yarn from factories. WYP and HOiSUM have collaborated on a brand that dares to leave the choice of yarn combinations unplanned, knitting each piece based on the resulting color schemes.

These crew socks were knitted on unique machines that are becoming increasingly rare. They feature an unusual striped pattern that varies even within a single sock. Some of the yarn used is WASTE YARN (yarn left over from the manufacturing process).

The socks are available in one assorted colorway.

The color scheme differs between the left and right socks.

This pair was born from the meeting of WYP’s craftsmanship, which embraces serendipity, and these dwindling, rare machines.

HOiSUM products are created by combining traditional techniques that can be called legacy, vintage machines that are difficult to maintain, and carefully selected materials. The feelings and warmth you feel from something that has been made with a little extra effort or has been devised by human hands cannot be mass-produced. “Hoi” is a greeting, “Sum” is a heart, and the brand name is a coined word that combines the two words. Every encounter and connection will start with a greeting, and if the heart is warm, a connection will be born. They strive to deliver products that remain in people's hearts.
