Abstract
A device with a loop fastener that links a pair, or more, of socks, by being opened; threaded through holes in each sock; and closed, such that the sock pairs are kept together before, during and after the laundering process. The device reduces the amount of time needed to do laundry by eliminating the need to sort and fold sock pairs and eliminates the risk of losing one mate in a pair of socks.
