I have cotton socks, and they are really ruff to wear, and I stopped wearing them when I started to suspect that they were causing chaffing on parts of my feet.

Are there ways to make them softer, are my socks bad, do I only have the choice of polyester socks???

    Too long in the dryer and they cook. Think of dryered flowers, they go brittle and scratchy when they’ve been dried. When those same flowers are fresh their petals are soft.

      I very rarely use the dryer. Only when it’s been raining for so many days and I desperately need to wash something. Also I find when I use the dryer, the clothes that drip dry stiff and rough come out much softer.
