Freezing affects the fiber structure, as the water absorbed into the material strengthens the fabric during freezing and thawing. With this, the nylon stockings are adapted to greater stretching and become less susceptible to rapid tearing.

This technique is quick and easy, making it the ideal solution for anyone who wants to simply and effectively extend the life of their socks.
