| Those little mesh washbags with zippers are good for keeping smaller items together (and delicates too).

| I don't know....but we lose socks too....I just use the un-mated sock as a cleaning rag  People have pinned the socks together before washing to keep the pair together, but that seems hard to me! LOL |

| | I haven't figured out if it's the washer or dryer that holds socks for ransom. I do the same thing as Gayla. I just the odd one aside and wait for its mate to show up. |
