No, you're not the only one who hates the see-through look.

Running up to Christmas, I developed a bit of a hose obsession and tried to find a number of different makers to see what works for me (size 7.5 feet, 18-inch calves, 9-inch ankle)

So far, I've tried Lochcarron, Gaelic Themes, Gleann Righ and an unbranded hose.

I'd agree with other posters that Gaelic Themes are worth chasing, but I'd caveat that you need to go for at least their K1500 hose (70% wool) or the merino wool hose - the lower wool content blends feel too scratchy to me (and aren't as warm).

Best regards
