Yarn used in sample Onion knit Nettle sock (70% Wool, 30% Nettle fibres, 50 g / 185 m / 202 yds)
You can use any fingering weight yarn that meets gauge, a 80/20 or 75/25 merino/nylon blend will give your socks the durability they need for everyday wear.

Difficulty
Intermediate - Suitable for knitters familiar with top-down sock construction, heel flap and gusset, short rows, simple increases and decreases, and working multiple stitches into one stitch for the bobble motif. A good next step after a plain sock.
