Glove Silk Hosiery
GLOVE SILK HOSIERY (Knit)
This term applies to hosiery made out of glove silk and the fabrics used are plain, milanese and fancy tricot. The manufacture of this type of hosiery resembles the manufacture of gloves more than any other garment. For an ordinary " glove silk stocking " seven pieces are required and metal dies are used to cut correctly-shaped pieces from the warp knit silk fabric, just as the various pieces are cut to form a glove. These separate pieces are the leg, heel and upper part of the toe, two heel reinforcing pieces, used to reinforce either side of the heel by having two thicknesses, two toe reinforcing pieces and a rectangular piece for the welt.
