I love knitting socks! It's my favorite and most relaxing hobby. At this point, I've knit well over 100 pairs. These are my favorite sock knitting supplies.
This book taught me how to knit socks that actually fit. It's the hands down the best knitting book that I have ever purchased.
Socks from the Toe Up: Essential Techniques and Patterns from Wendy ...
The absolute best knitting needles for socks. The tips are sharp and help prevent the yarn from splitting. The cables are flexible with no memory. I have pairs that I have used to make 50+ pairs of socks.
Addi Lace Knitting Needles
My favorite budget sock yarn. It's my go to yarn for gifting socks. Pairs I have knit and gifted using Wendy's slip stitch heel pattern and this yarn have lasted the recipients years.
Patons® Kroy Socks Yarn
I love Nomadic Yarns fandom and book inspired self-striping yarn. I have made at least 10 pairs of socks using their yarn. The BFL base is my favorite. I have never had any trouble with splitting or the yarn bleeding when the socks are washed.

Whimzee Stitches makes my favorite sock knitting bags. I'm particularly partial to their annual Pride collection. I literally carry one with me everywhere. The handles make them extremely portable. I have even washed them without any issues.

Socks are knit at such a small gauge that thick stitch markers can leave ladders and uneven stitches. These are thin and won't obstruct your stitches.
Bulb Pin Stitch Markers By Loops & Threads
My second favorite sock knitting book! If you want something a little more challenging and complicated, this is the book for you.
Toe-Up Socks for Every Body: Adventurous Lace, Cables, and Colorwork from Wendy Knits
I've been using Shannon's yarn for over 10 years. All of her bases are good quality, and I have never had a skein bleed when washing. Her colorways are fun and vibrant.
BFL sock yarn is so difficult to find in self-striping patterns, and ValkyrieFibersTahoe is one of the only shops that I have found that carries it. She has limited editions and fandom inspired colorways as well.
