A pair of seamfree nylon stockings, circa 1950s, which in their original packaging. The polyamide threads in these nylons were made by the extrusion process. It involves forcing molten raw plastic through a die. The extruded plastic is then cooled. The die created the shape of the extrusion, thus it can be quite thick and have a hole in its middle, to make a pencil casing, or very fine, as is the case with the thread. It can also have ridges but it is crucial that the profile of the shape extruded is the same all along its length.
