What's the thinnest stocking, D?

The thinnest silk stockings are 5D.

The thickness of stockings is based on denier, and how many "D" or "denier" are marked on the package of each pair of stockings. Abbreviation: Dan.

"D" or "denier" refers to the unit of fiber size. Every 9000 meters, the weight of fiber woven into stockings is called "D". Therefore, the higher the number "D", the higher the relative weight and the higher the thickness of the fiber. Ultra-thin stockings are made of core-spun silk or spandex. Generally, the materials of ultra-thin stockings are spandex cotton blended yarn, velvet silk, spun silk cotton blended yarn and Lycra. The smaller the number of "D", the thinner the stockings are. The more durable the socks, the higher the "D" value. Generally, 40-60D are spring and autumn socks, and over 60D are winter socks. The average number of nests in summer stockings is below 20 days, which is cool, light and transparent. Now ultra-thin stockings even reach 5 days. Choose thick and warm velvet stockings in winter. The stockings with a thickness of more than 1600D are similar to autumn trousers. If you count the stockings made of Lycra, you can actually wear them instead of cotton wool and long pants in winter as long as 25D. This is why wearing stockings is better than long pants. If 1600D stockings are compared to the thickness of autumn trousers, then 25D lycra stockings or 60D velvet stockings with the same warm, moisture-proof and windproof effects are many times thinner and more comfortable and light than autumn trousers.
