This thread is awesome! I originally used 4" socks and hand washing, but getting them inside out was still a PITA so I went to 7" diameter And even those are annoying. I had been buying my socks from mcmaster-carr which are around $15/each.
My first thought is, do you really need a fully rigid ring at all? Maybe something fairly stuff but flexible enough you could fully sew the sock up and leave a hole to push in from afterwards? I'm thinking like that semi-transparent white poly pipe you can get from home derpot. Then you could just pull the "ring" out and washing would be so much easier.
