Why you shouldn't wear or throw away holey socks: folk signs and superstitions

Socks are a necessary part of any wardrobe, as they protect your feet from external factors and help keep them warm. However, socks often cannot serve for a long time because they wear out quickly. At the same time, if a hole forms in the socks, many people will simply throw them away, but our grandmothers used to darn such products because they used to be in great short supply.
