dyeing bamboo socks

I've been doing LWI with bamboo socks for awhile (from Dharma). After the final hot wash (but my washing machine is not set to super hot - maybe just hot enough) the elastic around the top seems to get tugged out of place or pulled. There's often a little tiny loop of elastic sticking out of the top of the socks somewhere. I wondered if anyone else has had such a problem or has any insight into this.

Many thanks

bamboo socks elastic

Yes, I've seen this on many of my dyed bamboo rayon socks from Dharma. I like them anyway, but it would be nice if this quality issue were corrected.

Thanks for replying, Paula.I do like them, too. Do you sell your socks anyway - even though that elastic is kind of wimpy at the top? That was my real concern.

Many thanks,
Maggie

bamboo socks

I'm afraid I'm not the right person to ask this. I haven't been dyeing anything for sale. Is there anyone else out there using these socks?

I have some bamboo socks from Dharma that I dyed several years ago and they are not unraveling. I just see that one bit of elastic sticking out at the top of several of them, until I tuck it back in.
