Is it safe to put stockings/tights in the dryer? How did this happen?

Asked by DigitalBlue (7102points) November 22nd, 2012

Last night I washed my dress, sweater, and stockings to wear today, and hung all 3 to dry. It’s 7am and my dress and sweater are perfectly dry, but my tights are still sopping wet.
1.) Can I put them in the dryer on low heat, or will that ruin them? They are opaque/textured/winter tights.. I don’t know if that matters.
2.) How in the world.. or why… would stockings take longer to dry than either of the heavier clothing items that I washed with them?
