Profile

SOUKI is a Nara sock factory founded in 1927. It uses rare vintage low-gauge knitting machines that create a thick, characterful fabric.

Products

The washi products include crew, ankle, and specialty socks. Some yarn stories connect to kuzu plant leftovers from Yoshino, Nara, combined with Mino washi techniques.

Western Exposure

Exposure is low-to-moderate. Products are available through Kokka Fabrics in the US and Nagamochi Shop from Japan, but direct US retail appears limited.

Notes

High relevance for Wabi Socky because it combines Nara factory heritage, uncommon machinery, and low western saturation.
