The primary difference in all the models offered by HOC is just style. Which style of cuff do you like or if you prefer a different pattern.
The primary difference in the cost is because the HOC hose are wool where the Sock Dream socks are primarily cotton. The world has seen a huge increase in the cost of wool over the past 10 years. The cost of almost anything made of wool has almost doubled in that time. Merino is the redheads of the wool world with the thinnest, finest fibers.
Yarn spun primarily for socks will usually be a blend of wool and usually between 10% and 25% Nylon for strength. Specifically in the heel and toe. Some socks are a blend of many different fibers such as Acrylic and even elastic.
