I'm a somewhat new sock knitter. I want to make a pair of socks using the magic loop method. I've practiced on a pair of fingerless gloves and find this method easier than double pointed needles.

I couldnt' resist and bought one skein of Lorna's Laces Shepherd Worsted Weight yarn. It is 100% superwash wool and 225 yards. Is this enough to make a pair of simple women's socks? Also, I've noticed that much of the sock yarn has some nylon in it. Will 100% wool work as well?

Thank you in advance to all of you experienced socknitters out there!
