Review:
These are some of the most comfortable hose I have. Very plush and fluffy. Fit is a little loose, length is a little long, but cuffs are strange. The cuffs are very loose, the cuff pattern doesn't go down the top of the hose very far, and it looks strange if rolled. So to cuff these like in the picture, you actually have to cuff them in a zigzag pattern of down/up/down/up. And flashes/garters are pretty well necessary because the cuffs are too loose to hold them up. Because of how fluffy they are, they are very warm - excellent for winter. They do wear fairly quickly, and they seem to like to pill up a bit, but mostly just down on the foot parts, so if you wear boots you will probably never see them pill. Because of how comfortable they are, these are the ones I chose to try dying over in this thread.

Review:
Haven't actually worn these out anywhere - the patterns are a little over the top. They are incredibly stretchy, and this is one instance where "one size fits all" is probably accurate. The material is very thin, and I do not expect them to wear well, but as I mentioned I haven't worn them so I do not know for sure. Not tall enough for a good cuff. In fact, they're a little hard to cuff at all due both to the pattern and the fact that they're just too tall to not cuff but yet barely go over my knees. They're an interesting option, and about the only thing I've found in patterned hose I can wear. Oh, and this thread is what pointed me in the direction to try these.




And I think that's about it for what I have right now. I have several other ones I've tried which do not fit, and I've found one bespoke knitter who can knit custom hose in cotton blends (although her color selection was severely limited). But these are the ones I actually own and can give a review on. So hopefully that helps!
