How can I keep my hose from snagging and running?

Please remember that hose are very delicate and should be put on with gloves. We also recommend hand washing your hosiery. Never was your stockings or hosiery in the washing machine.

A washing technique recommended to us by a long time hosiery connoisseur is as follows: Take new hosiery from the package, wash them out in luke-warm water with a very gentle soap. Rinse well, Squeeze out well and place stockings, still wet, in a plastic bag. Put in the freezer and leave over night. Then...carefully remove frozen hose from bag and place into warm water in sink, allowing them to thaw out slowly and naturally (do not rush this process). The let them dry as usual. This technique should help increase the life of the hosiery by two, three or even four times. We were told this technique works and we could share this with our viewers! Good luck!
