ETA: I have found some Patons 4 ply 100% cotton in my stash (that could do with being better organised even if it is not that big) which will not make comfortable socks (it is a bit shiny and harsh) but will at least make socks the right size to try on! Now all I need to do is to decide what stitch patterns will work well together because my first attempt in DK yarn has just been frogged!
