For those of you asking about Kilt hose
Regarding your Kilt hose that you are interested in having knit. Please consider the thickness of the hose. If you will be using it for evening, you might want to use a light weight fingering yarn. That would also be suitable for day use.
You might want to consider a chunky or even a medium weight yarn for winter.
Amount of yarn needed will be approximately 10x25G DK if you chose medium weight hose.
Then the consideration is wool, cotton (if allergies), cashmere or other fine yarns like Alpaca.
