How to stay 'Sock Wise'

• - Socks are part outerwear - part underwear - they're inside your shoes but show a tantalising glimpse from under your trouser leg.
• - Red isn't the only colour for statement socks - there are lots of other colours around and you know where to find them - right here of course @ sock shop!
• - Wearing the wrong socks may make others question your judgement.

Tights can last for ever - What to do with Discarded tights

A fact of life about hosiery is that it is frequently discarded after a number of uses. Environment conscious consumers might reasonably be concerned about how to dispose of them. Here are a few imaginative ideas about how discarded hosiery can be "recycled":

• - Filling material for pillows, handmade dolls and stuffed animals.
• - A bathing cap to wear in bath or shower to keep hair away from the face.
• - Hanging storage for vegetables.
• - Shoe polishing cloth.
• - Placed around the base of strawberry plants in the garden to prevent the berries from being splattered with dirt.
• - Cut into small pieces and stretched around wire frames to make a decorative floral arrangement.
• - Hair ribbon with just the right amount of stretch to knot around a pony tail.
• - A quick fix for a broken fan-belt in the car.

The important point is that used hosiery does not need to be simply thrown away! It can be considered a useful resource.
