PS - when I hand wash the wool hose, I do throw in a bit of conditioner, which helps keep them soft.
I am the same. I never really notice the heat, and actually, my legs and feet actually stay rather cool, hardly sweat, and do not itch. And I too am wearing House of Cheviot hose - my other hose are Gaelic Themes, and they hold up nice as well in the heat, especially since they are around 1 ply less than my Cheviots.

Cheers,
