So, knitters, my dad has asked for boot socks. No problem, I've got a cute pattern and everything - but what worsted weight yarn is good for socks? I don't do much in the worsted weight area, so I have no idea. suggestions please!

Are you sure you want worsted weight? I have some socks I knit in a heavy sport weight, and they're about as thick as I'd want socks to be, comparable to my thickest commercial socks.

well, it's what the pattern calls for. I have a pair of worsted socks that I did AGES ago on size 6 dpns, but I have no idea what yarn it was.
