Sock-Folding Basics

Welcome to the Sock-Folding Academy, where we teach you the ancient art of folding your socks into perfectly parallel rectangles. It's a skill that will take you places.

First, you need to start with the basics. Here's a step-by-step guide:

Sort your socks by color, then by pattern, and finally by fabric type.
Fold the matching socks together, making sure the right and left socks are paired up.
Take the folded pair and bend it into a perfect rectangle, using the heel as the corner.
Repeat until your laundry is folded.

And that's it! Now go forth and fold your socks like the pros.
