ALE&GIÒ socks are made of a special yarn that bases its peculiarities on the several beneficial and healing qualities of silver. Born after years of research and studies carried out in the testing laboratories, the yarn is exclusive and innovative, based on 99.9% pure silver. To obtain this special fiber, there was a collaboration with some prestigious universities and research institutes, succeeding in obtaining a product that combines the textile needs with the beneficial characteristics of silver.
The yarn is created by combining a layer of about 0.5 micron of silver (about 20%), 99.9% pure, with a textile support, through a particular and articulated production process. The silver treated in this way is irreversibly bound to the textile surface, and then joined by further processing processes with natural fibers such as cotton.
