Hot Air Curse

My new dryer 
is defective.
I told the supplier
and a detective.

Socks go in, 
but not all come out.
Lint comes out,
no doubt.

What could it mean -
as socks unseen,
and lint, to a percent,
are equivalent?

As clothes toss, 
I incur loss - 
a hot air curse
'til I put it in reverse.

Can the lint be knitted back into a socket. My lint is mostly cat fur. Lol. Just wear them mismatched.

Thanks, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I'm still researching that missing sock problem, and reporting my results :-)
