They are nice and comfortable and wear well, so I would recommend them.Sew, Jean Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02820699938403952341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3591480456197557629.post-76181987067527262842015-09-23T21:14:56.936+10:002015-09-23T21:14:56.936+10:00Thank you Faye.

It is amazing how knit fabrics can vary so much and effect the fit of a garment. I have plans to make version 1 in a chevron stripe.Sew, Jean Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02820699938403952341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3591480456197557629.post-67073423819175200502015-09-23T21:07:02.447+10:002015-09-23T21:07:02.447+10:00Thank you Hana.

Could I ask if you're wearing tights or nylons and what brand? I just can't do bare legs in the winter and am looking for a thinner tight. Thanks.
