Aren't most sheep....white? Wouldn't it be a logical argument to think that hose were originally white to begin with? I mean, I think that dyeing and such came after weaving. It wouldn't make sense to invent a way to dye cloth, THEN invent cloth?

Actually, Thunderbolt, it's the yarn that is dyed and then the hose are knitted. You are referring to "piece-dyed" and that's not how hose are made.
