A Website Dedicated Entirely to Striped Tights

Tights are a versatile and ubiquitous piece of leg wear to be found in most women’s chest of drawers.

Here at Stripey Tights we are wondering what the best way to recycle those old tights is?

Recycling Old Tights

The annoying thing about tights is that they can be quite fragile and therefore they have a limited life span.  Of course some pairs last longer than others, a good quality opaque pair of tights can survive for years, a light weight pair of nylons can get laddered on their first outing and dumped before you even get home!

I’m sure I’m not the only one who frequently puts a nail right through my tights as I pull them up over my legs.

But when you start to add up all the different pairs that we all wear every day there is clearly a lot of nylon going to waste.

Here are some Recycling Ideas

Here are a few of our thoughts on what to do with hosiery that no longer fits or has been slightly damaged:

• Emergency fan belt: If you brake down and need an emergency replacement whipping off your tights might be the perfect solutions.
• Arm Warmers: Re-fashion the arms of an old pair of wool tights into a practical winter accessory.
• In the Garden: Use to protect plants and vegetable patches. Stretch them over the area that needs to be protected.
