The best  bet may be to layer stockings.

This is what I was thinking too.
 
Unless you want a more rustic look with the wool, I'd get a pair of  
pantyhose or tights. They are very warm in themselves, but put your silk  
stockings 
over them and you should be quite warm....unless it's like way below  freezing. 
The modern super-stretchy tights would be very smooth and more than  likely 
undetectable under your correct period stockings.
 
Even if you do get some fine wool stockings, layering may be needed to keep  
you warm. Are there not depictions of men in layers of  different colored  
stockings...some rolled down a bit to show the layers underneath? Or is that 
too  
early? Too dandy?
