As a knitter of hose for some 45 years now I must say that if you want the top quality and hand knitted, then you either need to pay that sort of price or accept lesser quality, or the use of slave labour. If I had to pay myself for what I make I don't think I could afford it.

There are some reductions when buying in bulk, but just the yarn for a pair of blue and white hose cost me 13 pounds, though once I finish them I don't envisage having to make them again.

You're right, of course, Anne.

These are top quality hand knitted (by artisans in their own homes) kilt hose and these people should be paid a fair price for their labour.

Maybe one day.

I mean one can save money to be able to afford some of these socks, no?

It's not as if we're buying kilt hose every week nor every month.
