Is it a serious question

If so, no, I do not feel a basic sock would work quite as well though it would catch large particulates. True filter socks actually are a pretty fine weave. So I guess it depends on what you hope to accomplish.
I bet you could make your own though, using some felt (not the craft store kind, the fabric store kind). at least I would think you could.

Basically go to the sink and put it under the faucet, and see how much the "knit" opens up. I bet it would stretch out quite a lot.

I have used Large shrimp nets (the ones with the fine weave) as filtersocks. they arent quite as fine as a regular filter sock but they are finer than your average sock.
