Tim is fascinated by many things, and his amazing collection even has examples of unusual… socks!

First of all, socks with eyes, but that is not all. These socks have little arms attached to them, and when you bring the two socks close together, they hold hands. Socks with a magnetic personality!

Socks that have a sandal design incorporated into them. Maybe not so good if you believe you should not wear socks when you are wearing sandals!

Japanese socks that have ‘fingers’ that will fit over your toes. Very snug.

Musical socks – well, they have elaborate embroidery on the sides. A Japanese company has designed a machine that will sew/darn the chosen image onto the sock. So complicated images can be created automatically.

Another Japanese invention – socks and a glove that look as if they have been made for children. Yet when you pop them on, they stretch and stretch, and you discover that they DO fit adults.
