Sustainable tights made from castor oil – soft, sturdy, and CO₂-neutral
You almost won’t believe it: tights made from plants. These sustainable tights from Living Crafts are made from innovative EVO® yarn derived from castor oil – also known as wonder oil. Plant-based, vegan, CO₂-neutral, and surprisingly comfortable. They feel soft and smooth against your skin, aren't sweaty, and fit like a second skin.
The tights feature a wide, high waistband that doesn't dig into your stomach and stays neatly in place, even when you're on the move all day. With 50 denier, they offer good coverage, perfect for dresses, skirts, or just under your trousers on chilly days.

Size advice
We stock these tights in sizes S through XL. My golden rule for tights: choose a size larger if in doubt. Especially if you have long legs. I wear size 42 trousers myself, and size L fits me perfectly.
Washing and usage tips
Always be careful with jewelry, nails, and zippers – tights remain delicate. A run can sometimes happen, no matter how sustainable the yarns are. In this case, "sustainable" means they are sustainably produced, not that they are indestructible. You can, however, responsibly recycle damaged tights in the textile bin.

FAQ – frequently asked questions about our sustainable tights
What are these tights made of?
The tights consist of 95% EVO-polyamide derived from castor oil and 5% elastane. Plant-based, vegan, and CO₂-neutral.
Are these tights stronger than regular tights?
The yarns are sturdy, but they are still tights: runs can always occur. The sustainability lies primarily in the production and the bio-based fiber.
Do the tights sit high?
Yes, and it feels wonderful! The wide waistband ensures the tights stay in place and don't slide down.
Can I return tights?
Unfortunately not. Due to hygiene reasons, tights can never be returned. When in doubt, choose a size larger.
Are these tights warm?
At 50 denier, they provide some warmth, making them ideal for autumn and winter, but they are not as warm as wool tights.
