Help about sewing thread
If you’re knitting wool socks there is quite a bit of elasticity in that fiber. I haven’t had any problems with wool socks sliding down my leg. If you want to knit cotton socks there are several brands of cotton yarn with less than 2% elastic in them and the yarn is very stretchy and I have made a number of socks using that. I like them quite well. I used http://www.elann.com/productdisp.asp?NAME=elann.com+Esprit&Cat=&ProductType=5&Count=2. There is also another brand Cascade Fixation that is the same.
If you really want elastic thread here is one site I found http://www.ctsusa.com/dept.aspx?dept_id=01-008.
Welcome to KH and good luck with your socks.
