    New Life for White Socks

    When I started wearing kilts about 6 or 7 years ago, I bought two pairs of white socks. I do not wear white kilt socks any longer so I was trying to figure out what to do with them since they are fairly good quality. So, for about 7.00 US dollars of dye, I now have some decent looking kilt socks.

    Here are the white socks.
    .

    I first dyed the tops green.


    After 30 minutes, I rinsed the tops in cold water. They came out okay and here is how they looked after the tops where done. I did this outside so I did not accidentally destroy anything in the house.


    I finished by doing the rest of each pair in blue or purple.



    So, after they finish drying and I make sure the dye is set, I will have to try them out.

    I wanted to share an afternoon project. Trying to take something I stopped using and making it into something that would work with my kilts.
