Where does that one sock go when it gets lost in the laundry?  Well, it goes to Sockville of course.  Fueled by the imagination, Sockville is a happy place for socks to live.  There are socks of many different colors, shapes, and sizes all working together to make Sockville a better place.  All the residents of Sockville are socks except for the occasional glove and several talking items scattered throughout the professor's laboratory.

Although socks never leave Sockville, they visit other places and discover other things in the real world through the use of the Sockulator.  The Sockulator is the portal to the real world.  This is how socks arrive in Sockville, but this is also how socks in Sockville learn about life outside of their world.  Buttons and paper clips instead of money power the clothes dryer-like machine which allows Bobby Sox, Polly Esther, and the other inhabitants of Sockville to gain such experiences while staying safe and cozy at home. 

Occasionally, Professor Darning and Stinky jump into the Sockulator and take an adventure that leads to foreign places like Great Mitten.  They also travel to neighboring towns like Bootville, Shoeland, and Hatfield.

Professor Darning is the town's mentor.  His laboratory, located in the heart of Sockville, is an elaborate clothes dresser with multiple floors of wonder.  Stinky, his faithful yet curious assistant, always seems to be getting into something, and pops up all over Sockville.  Bobby Sox and Polly Esther are the newest socks on the block.  They have just arrived in Sockville, and have much to learn
