I bought a pair of hose with store credit from a store in Scotland. And not thinking about US v UK sizes, I ordered large. I now own a beautiful pair of bottle green hose that will reach my back-side with no problem. They are 50/50, wool/poly blend. Can they be "downsized" with a trip (or 3) through the washer-dryer on hot? If not, I may have an item to post for sale. Or I can use them this winter as leggings to stay warm!

Please offer suggestions or condolences or laughs.
