    I got mine from kilt.store.
    Otherwise I have bought hose on ebay, but "stone" is not that frequently offered (at least the period of time I've been checking).

    This brings up something I've noticed.I've seen "stone" referred to as either oatmeal or tan colored. Can someone shed some light on this?
    To me, oatmeal is a tan color and stone is a greyish in color. I have both and was just wondering.

    I've always considered them two different colors. The oatmeal has a tan color to it, while the stone is grey. Unfortunately, some places sell oatmeal and call it stone.

    I can't say that I have seen stone from anyplace in the States. ScottishKilts has a selection of colors, including stone.

    I was going to ask: is this a matter of warm grey/neutral grey/cool grey?

    The oatmeal yarn is a staple of fly-tying and it has always seemed warm (a pale tan) to me. Greys can be cool and have either a blue or green cast to them while the warm greys can appear yellowish or magenta-ish. Not to muddy the subject...I just wonder where a stone grey falls in. In a past life I was a catalog photographer and the clients were very particular about how colors were rendered.
