My wife and I have multiple pairs of athletic socks in the same colors, with the same logo on them, which differ only in size. Unfortunately it's not easy to separate them by size, especially after they've been washed a few times.

Anyone out there have suggestions for simple ways to 'tag' items like this to make them easy to separate? I'm not sure a 'permanent marker' would work since the fabric is very absorbent and they get washed frequently. I imagine something like a physical tag crimped into the fabric would be more durable. Sort of like a Bedazzler, except not shiny and jewel-like 🙂

(if you can think of suitable hashtags for this post let me know and I'll edit them in)

@kevin for the marker, there's products actually called laundry marker -- uchida.com/products/laundry-ma is the one we have, but looks like Sharpie has one too.
