Holiday stockings don’t need to be made from plush furry fabric or rich red velvet. They can be made from any fabric you like that reflects your style, eclectic tastes, or interior decor.
A long time ago I worked for a furniture store. One day they were clearing out all the sample fabric swatches and books that had been discontinued. And what were they going to do with it all?
Toss it in the dumpster. Stacks and stacks of rich, fancy, and fabulous pieces of fabric. All to the trash. I just couldn’t let it happen.

It’s time once again for a festive lingerie party so check out these new stockings from g=9.8 offered for the holidays from By Nature. They combine softness, elegance and warmth. The tights are made from pine fiber, which is a new material derived from recycling the wastes of tree pruning. They’ve added new colors this season like sophisticated black currant shown here.
Sophie Young the founder of g=9.8 uses Lenpur® which she promotes as, “a sustainable textile made from white pine tree clippings processed with enzymes into fibre.”
The fiber has amazing properties, for example:
- the material regulates temperature so that you are never too hot or too cold.
- it holds it’s shape and conforms to your curves.
- the fiber is biodegradable and anti-bacterial.
- it washes well and dries very quickly.
