OK i have a co-worker who is a pretty good knitter. She has already made me a pair of garter ties , and she offered to make me some kilt hose. the catch is i supply the yarn. I dont know to much about yarn. I have asked her her opinion, she sent me to a site called knit picks dot com. they seem to have good deals on yarn. there are a few that i have looked at that i think will make nice looking hose. this line is one i am looking at:
City Tweed
The complete line of wool they offer
I havent looked at there other weights of yarn, but If anyone has any advice on what i should order, i am all ears. i was looking to use the Toirneach kilt hose pattern that has been posted a few times here on XMTS

The catch is that you supply the yarn? Aren't you offering to buy the yarn, the needles, and pay her well for her work? Perhaps you’re offering to marry her? I’m not really joking; she has to be sweet on you to offer to make you kilt hose.

The Toirneach stockings, to which you refer, have simple ribs and a fancy cabled cuff. This pattern could take an experienced knitter forty hours to knit. There's as much knitting in a pair of kilt hose as in an entire sweater.

The “City Tweed” yarn you like is NOT suited to making stockings. It is labelled DK (double knitting) which is thinner than the worsted weight. It will work up very soft and will wear out easily in a sock, unless it is reinforced with a thin thread of nylon. The knitting Gauge is 5.5 sts = 1" on #5 - 7 needles (3.75mm-4.5mm). This gauge is more suitable for a medium-weight man’s sweater than for socks.

The Toirneach pattern calls for worsted weight yarn. That will make a thick, dense stocking. Your hose pattern specifies gauge at 24 sts/28 Rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch. The pattern recommends US #2 and #4 needles. That equates to 6 stitches per inch, using the US #4 needles. The gauge for the ribbing, on the US #2 needles, will be even more dense.

In other words, the Toirneach pattern is for thicker yarn, knitted to a much denser texture than the “City Tweed” yarn you like.

I have used the Knitpics yarn, it is generally good quality. Use the search function to find one labelled "sock yarn" so it is suited to the purpose.
