The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The term originated as the collective term for products of which a maker or seller is termed a hosier, and those products are also known generically as hose.
- The term is also used for all types of knitted fabric, and its thickness and weight is defined by denier or opacity.
- Lower denier measurements of 5 to 15 describe a hose which may be sheer in appearance, whereas styles of 40 and above are dense, with little to no light able to come through on 100 denier items.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Hosiery article was read about 51,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 43 and blocks with 32: each hit it takes is cut by 13 %.
