Such a wide variety of opinions on washing kilt hose, from hand washing to toss them in the washer then dryer.

Being busy I've elected to toss them in the washer on gentle cycle. Have noticed that some brands (wish I'd kept the cardboard dealie they come in) are shrunk up when they come out of the wash.

The kilt hose will stretch back out to fit me, but its an ordeal to get my foot in them and stretch them up my leg.

So, last night tried taking the tight ones out of the washer and stretching them over 1.5 liter bottles of Aquafina water. The waterbottles are smaller than my calf, but not much.

This morning the hose were dry and they slip on my leg MUCH easier. They still have the elasticity to stay up.

So, hopefully, problem solved.
