Hosiery mishaps are common occurrences that can be caused by a variety of factors. Two of the most common hosiery mishaps are SNAGS and RUNS. SNAGS are small tears or holes in the fabric caused by catching on something sharp, while RUNS are long, thin lines that occur when the fabric is stretched or pulled too much. Both of these issues can be frustrating and difficult to repair, but with proper care and maintenance, they can be avoided.
