    Actually this is a bad idea as it creates a very heavy concentration of clothing and will throw your washer out of balance. I have used a great product for years, called the Always Together Sock Clip. sockclip dot com Not only do I never lose a sock but they come out of the dryer already sorted and since they are different colors and we've assigned a color to each person we don't have to sort them anymore either. I've tried many clips and rings, etc. and these are by far the best and the best solution for no more missing or sorting socks.
