lovely soft very comfortable

Compared to the UK full hose, these have a sense of the home-made, which Indian products of many sorts (paper, e.g.) has and which I personally find attractive. The turn-ups of these hose are a bit loosely woven to the leg overall, easily solved if one is used to darning but not quite 100% ready out of the post. A quibble. These are overall very fine, super comfortable. If you hike and prefer a tall stocking, these are worth your consideration.
Good enough quality

Pretty good quality but I think they were made for a giant. I got a pair of the UK ones many years ago and I figured I would try these ones because I thought they might be smaller but they're not they're huge. And these weren't even a large ones that I got. I'm going to see if shrinking them helps at all. Color and quality is good.

I ordered two pair of these wool hose. I intended to wear one pair myself, and the other was to be a gift for a friend of mine. I may end up keeping both.
These are a somewhat "rough-spun" or "coarse" wool that has been neatly knitted into a very nice pair of hose. They fit quite well, and have a good, rugged feel to them. I expect that they will last me a long time.
If you are in the market for such a thing, I can recommend buying them here. The cost is reasonable and so is shipping. They were sent off shortly after I purchased them and arrived only a few days later.
