One of my least favorite chores is folding socks. It's really so simple, so I'm not sure why I put it off until my son is begging for clean socks. Last time I folded socks, I came up with this simple solution.
- Place all socks in a laundry basket.
- Sort socks by toe thread color by draping each green stitched sock over one side of the basket, each pink stitched sock over another, and so on.
- If you have more than four colors of toe stitching, leave those extras in the basket. I also leave colored socks in the basket.
- Working on one side at a time, match socks of similar wear together.
- ALWAYS throw out socks that are threadbare, or you can mend them immediately. HA!!!
- If you have lots of types of socks, repeat the process with four more thread colors.
- Match the colored socks that are still in the basket.
- Save any unmatched socks in a separate basket for next time.
