Mine arrived today. The tartan red (to go with my loud MacLeod when it arrives), brown, and purple. Already had the ancient blue and navy.

Not sure what the attraction is for me...know its the thick decorative hose top...and a bit of the less itchy feel...and the foot is shaped rather than forcing the material to stretch around my heel...bunch of stuff...

Thanks for the reassurance H. Hastings...I'm just leary of the washer because of shrinking and felting wool hose on gentle cycle...
