Knitpicks Palette, 100% Peruvian Highland Wool. Not very soft in the ball, but very nice in the finished object. I made up the pattern. The instep is straight k2p2 ribbing b/c I wanted a nice, snug fit. I tried to make up a simple twisty cable pattern for the ribbing, but it was a huge pain in the butt, so I only did it for 2 repeats and then went to straight ribbing.The sock on the L is blocked, and the R sock is unblocked. One ball of Palette made two socks with 1 inch cuffs, and you can see how much is left over. Not a lot.

An easy twisty cable pattern I’ve found is:
R1: K2tog, but do not slip onto right needle. Knit just leading loop of stitches you just knit, slip all to right needle. P2 repeat to end
R2: K2, P2 to end
repeat R1 & R2 for desired length.
