Panyhose? You can't be talking about pantyhose that we wear in the U. S. because just looking at them causes runners and snags. Please do tell me. I bet those tiny undies are so darn cute. :-)
Ahha Good morning to you
I used some old thick Girls` pantyhoses , they were quite thick at the time , and i see those kinds still worn by girls , this pair was off white. Not `brown` [nylon] color.I kept some of those and use them for all kinds of `projects` like dolls clothes etc,,,,
The brown nylon ones are good as doll fillers, as bathroom rugs etc,,,, [crocheted , knitted or woven] mirjam

Thank you Mirjam. For us it would be the 'tights' that are worn. What a great idea. I wish we lived closer so we could share more great ideas and tips. Okay, okay...stop twisting my arm...I want to learn more things from you. :-)
Thank you , i am blushing ,,, i learn something from everybody here ,,,, and i am a recyclist by nature , thus i learn a lot ,,,,, Of course the name is tights , how did this slip my mind >:>:>:>
What do you want to add to your knowledge ???? mirjam
