    Bright Hose for Halloween

    Impressed by all of the hose dyeing threads on XMTS, I finally decided to take a chance and dye a pair of cream colored hose that I haven't worn in years. My intent is replicate Nathan's great hose experiment here:

    Anyway...

    I bought two packages of Golden Yellow (I only used one box). I followed the directions for the wool by adding a cup of vinegar and about a teaspoon of salt.

    Beginning to think that I would only wear these for Halloween.
