In most cases, I would recommend washing thigh high socks by hand.
Thigh high socks are not ordinary socks, they are very long. They are easily entangled with other clothes. I bet you won’t like to see your thigh high socks like a long rope tying your other clothes together, although not every time. The best thigh high socks are not as firm as ordinary jeans. If you like these socks, try to wash them by hand.
The elastic part of thigh high socks is afraid of high temperatures. Excessive temperature will greatly damage the elasticity of the elastic thread. High-quality spandex elastic threads are much better than ordinary rubber. Their elasticity is better than rubber, but high temperature will still make them age quickly, so don't wash thigh high socks with too high water temperature.
The thigh high socks can be well protected when hand-washed. But this is not all, the last link is please do not use the dryer to dry thigh high socks at any time. The temperature of the dryer can quickly make the thigh high socks lose their elasticity.
Of course, if you want to enjoy a lazy weekend, high-quality thigh high socks can also be thrown into the washing machine. Just don't use too high temperature water, and don't try to use a dryer to dry these socks. So there is no problem even if it is machine-washed.
