I'm not sure how well the walnuts will dye the hose, but it will certainly dye your skin if you don't take precautions, rubber gloves for instance.

At least it will if the old novels I read are to be believed - the heroes were always darkening their skin with walnut shells in order to pass unnoticed during their adventures to right wrongs and rescue fair maidens or wretched prisoners of tyrants.

Perhaps it will colour any absorbant surface - but the only way to find out is to try it. I do have the uneasy feeling that you might end up with brown legs and feet.....
