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!

I like a tight gauge on my socks, so I don't really go above using 3's. I've made thicker socks combining sock weight or dk yarn with another dk or lace weight, it's a good way to get a blend of fibers too (if you're knitting with bamboo, for example, but want some wool in there too to help maintain the shaping.)
