And then we spend a lot of time searching for paired products. But socks are an important item in our wardrobe. They give comfort to our feet when wearing shoes and warm them.
Therefore, the conclusion is simple: to prevent things from getting lost, keep them in order. Even if they are just a small piece of clothing.

How to Roll Socks for Storage
In order for the socks to be sorted and not get lost, they need to be folded correctly. At the same time, it is important to find ways that allow you not to spend a lot of time on this process.
The most convenient options for folding socks are these methods.

Quite an easy option.
- Let's take socks. Place one on top of the other and roll it up. We put it in a special box, container or organizer.
- You can insert them into each other, so the pair will certainly not get lost. And then roll it up into a roll.
- Another option. If you have staples, the socks can be connected to each other before rolling.

The result is a fairly durable structure, shaped like a lump or ball.
Reference. It is convenient to fold thin or small socks into a ball, for example, children's items.
