Niqkita's Sock Journal

Once upon a time we only sold socks
…no leg warmers, gloves, petticoats and certainly no tights!
I never liked tights myself, but one nice customer after another requested them so I brought some in, then some more and what do you know? they sell pretty well, I’ve even learned to like them. So when I was shown these new Biella luxury tights at a show last winter I was in love! Gorgeous Italian made crochet tights, in purple!?! yes please! they also had fishnets and backseams and pinstriping, and the price, though not low, is not bad for such nice styles. So I ordered in bunches and last week I had the pleasure of trying them all. The Lilianas were my favorite, soft and so so comfy, the waistband is nicely finished, not bare elastic. The only problem I had with them was getting those lines to run down my legs correctly, other than that, true love!


The Gisellas are similar, but with a floral pattern, back seams and not quite as soft though still quite comfy, the red is a gorgeous scarlet, just perfect if you want a great red! that’s them in the red & black image for last post. Other little differences between them and the Lili’s: the floral pattern runs down to the toe seam, the Lili’s have a fine mesh at the toes and the Gisellas have an uncovered elastic waist band.
The pin striped Christianas are thick, opaque and seemed quite durable to me. The Marcella backseamed fishnets are fine gauge, fine enough that they hold your toes in without any issues and are also durable, I’m sure someone is going to tear them or get a hole in them, but not from normal wear & activity.
All four are summer stunners!
