    Tartan Hiker - I was considering ordering a few pairs and dying them also with an oatmeal and/or gray Rit dye. I don't have any experience with dying a wool/acrylic/lycra blend and wonder how well the synthetic material sets the dye. Also how well does the dye hold up after washing?

    I suppose with the colors I would be using if the blend of materials is uniform and only the wool takes the dye it would still look pretty good. Sort of "tweed" looking.

    Cheers! Bill

    Don't know about lycra, but Rit will dye the acrylic, just a couple of shades lighter.

    Hi all
    Just recieved my order from wbrewin and I have to say not only did my order show up in a week but the hose themselves are great.
    They are a little lighter then what I'm used to but they will make great hose for the summer festival season also for the weddings in the summer .I know at my wedding in August I had a pool of sweat in my hose they were 3inches thick. I'm a sock fanatic and these hose are a compliment for any folks that want a lighter pair of hose to wear that have that traditional look to them .

    They are quick to ship. I ordered my 4 pack on Wedensday night and I got a message that they have shipped them out 10 hours later.

    Machummel, did you pay any duty when the package arrived?
