Socks are made from many different materials, some from common used material like, cotton, to one of the most luxurious fabrics in the world, cashmere.
Cotton : This material does not wick away moisture.
Wool : This material does help in wicking away moisture.
Merino and Cashmere is often used in quality socks, sometimes with some Nylon material to add stretch.
One of the most expensive pair of socks to buy in the world are the multi-coloured Angora Goat wool socks made by Rodarte. They use the silky Mohair from the Angora Goat and Alpaca from, yup, Alpaca`s, and cost $500 . They are so delicate they are not washable, and are loosely crocheted by hand.
