Silk stockings are easy to dye successfully if a few pointe are remembered. To avoid tbeir dyeing in patches, they should be soaked in cold water for some time before immersing them in the dye. Additionally, the stockings should be kept moving while in the dye, Make the dye darker than you wish the stockings to be, as they always dry lighter than is expected. Allow the stockings to dry thoroughly in « place out of the sun. DO YOU KNIT? GET “WOOLCRAFT” This is invaluable to beginners.
