Fabulous Gio Fully Fashioned Cuban Heel Stockings are made using the original Reading machines, used to give the original look and feel of fabulous nylons from yesteryear. Only a small number of original Reading knitting machines, maintained by highly skilled knitters, are still in operation today. All Gio Fully Fashioned Point Heel stockings are made with 100% Nylon.
The stockings are knitted, beginning at the top of the welt and then shaped down the leg. The number of needles increases and decreases to produce unique hosiery for a perfect fit. Every machine produces 30 stockings at a time using approximately 18 000 needles, being maintained between 74 and 78 degrees to ensure the machines run at their optimum.
When the stockings are completed on the machine, they are glass ironed which highlights any slight imperfections.
The stockings are then grouped into Perfects and Slight Imperfects by quality inspection.

Each pair of stockings are carefully boarded with tissue paper to protect from snagging in transit.
Retro Rosie recommends the use of hosiery gloves to protect hosiery when handling as it improves the lifespan of stockings to protect from snagging. Hosiery Gloves are available here.
