Heavyweight Silk Stockings
Knitted to your specifications on our antique circular sock machine, these stockings have proven popular with Tudor and later re-enactors to go with high status costume. You will need to garter these stockings.
'Double thickness' pure silk yarn in these stockings gives a good coverage and is an ideal choice for male legs where the hose will be on show, though also popular with the ladies where a very smooth opaque stocking is required. Hand wash.
Choose from a plain leg or with a back seam detail. The standard length comes to just over the knee on most wearers, but if you need a longer length let me know in the notes at ordering. Sizing is based on your shoe size, and do let me know if you need extra slim or extra wide leg fitting.
My current yarn is an unbleached 'offwhite' 2ply (2/16nm) silk which can be overdyed later if you choose.
Made to order. The way our order book is currently working, we open the shop approximately once a quarter for new commissions and shut it again once we have as many orders as we think we can realistically make over the next three months. Please be aware that your order may fall anywhere into that timescale. We'll always aim to be as prompt as we can.
