We buy wool socks at the sporting goods stores like Gander Mountain, Cabelas, REI, Dicks Sporting Goods, Bass Pro Shops, etc.
All of them have websites that you can order from. Just a matter of finding what you want. They're pricey, but very high quality. Ours have lasted us for several years.
Woolrich. All wool. Also L.L. Bean on line or catalog all wool. Or, The Trading Post in Kittery, Maine. All wool many kinds. Just look on line. I buy them All the time for all the guys and gals. AL
A lot of those places sell blends. Even the ones that say "Wool socks", check the fiber content. Mostly nylon, sometimes acrylic, etc. They do it for stretching, wear issues, etc. Personally I think some wool/silk blend ones would be nice. I'd like some tights like that, too. Doubt I could afford more than one pair at a time, but I'd be warm waiting for the other pairs to arrive, lol!

I prefer Bridgedale socks myself, specifically the midweight Trekkers.
I found a couple of small scale manufacturers--don't know if the one has any left, but this one looks to be doing good business, and it seems to be a place many TOLers would be interested in supporting...

Oh--the wool comes from the dd's flock of sheep, no pesticides, etc, their homeschoolers, etc. ANd, best yet, they are reasonably priced $12/pr.
