Here in the bachelor cave I just throw them in with the laundry, cold water, gentle cycle.
On advice of the board have been tossing them in the dryer too. They're usually still damp when the cotton is dry so hang them over the barbell on the weight bench to finish drying overnight.
I hand pull/stretch them too. Some of the tighter ones get weighted clips to dry..
Notice the Lochcarron kilt hose I get through multiple sources is often different lengths, even though the size is always the same. Guess it depends on what mill grinds them out or what shift it is. Save the shorter tighter ones to wear pushed down with boots.
Buying and caring for kilt hose is a true adventure.
