Yes, they're one of my favourite pair - a fairly neutral colour with a wonderful knit pattern. They came from Matt Newsome at New House Highland, but sad to say, they were a clearance item in a discontinued line.
Similar knits may be available from various croft industry folks. The label below (front and back) came with a similar pair of green hose. You might try to track them down. I've obliterated the name of the individual knitter Mrs. L~ S~ on this hand-written label as you would not be working with her directly anyway.
I also spoke to a young friend who knits on the side. She offered to knit me a pair in claret, but that was a year and a half back, and so far she tells me she's knitted one sock in that time, but couldn't do the "seed knit" between the larger weave design. (Sigh!) You might be able to find somebody like that.
Finding really nice hose is always a challenge. Good luck!
