There have been doz ens of letters saying, ‘‘I would like to hook the flower designs for which you give directions in Book 5. Will you please tell me if I can use old silk stockings for these?” Silk stockings may be used for hooked rugs but they do not wear as well as woolen materials. They are perfect for hooked chair pads, foot stool tops and wall hangings. All the popular stocking colors may be dyed soft green, red and brown tones, without first remov ing the tan color. "White dye” should be used first if bright colors are needed. After dyeing, cut a strip around and around the stock- i ing spirally, making it from % inch to 1% inches wide according to how fine the work is to be.
