"glad the socks in question will be display only, but still embarassed at
their visible poor quality"

Didn't you say the socks were recreations of WW? socks for army? (or?) ?
I talked to a fellow who created some fabric for Civil War blankets that were
to be as much like the originals as possible. In that case it ment using
recycled and poor quality wool and the resulting fabric was of "poor" but more
authentic quality. Don't know if that is the case with those socks or not....

It does make you think a bit about what life was like before synthetics became
available.... not everyone could afford good quality wool and the lower quality
stuff was sometimes so bad(or inapropriately used as in carpet grades used for
garments) that there are still people who think they are allergic to wool.
