Danish term or phrase: sokker
This is from a novel set in Copenhagen in the 1950s. Does "sokker" mean "socks" in this context?

"Lejligheden i Holsteinsgade var en af de her store københavnerlejligheder som med det samme de blev bygget, blev udsat for en absolut tidsstandsning. Og midt i denne stemning af 1890’erne flød moster Annas rod: sokker, flossede billedrammer, karduspapir, skårede vaser, pensler, tome tuber maling, tørklæder, overmalede lærreder, bøger, hullede tæpper og halvspiste rugbrødshumpler."
