As for wool socks try Alpaca wool socks.
Dahlgren Alpaca wool socks are really comfortable,I now use them for
cycling constantly. I am in So Cal so it doesn't get terribly cold here
but last week I was cycling to work at 38 degrees, I put on my short
Alpaca socks and added a pair of cotton socks over them and my feet
stayed toasty over the entire 10 mile commute.

I was first introduced to Alpaca socks when I was given some Dahlgren
Aplaca backpacking socks by my brother in law (who knows the people who
sell them). I liked them so much I decided to try some for cycling so I
asked my brother in law to see if they had cycling socks. The socks he
provided look alot like the short cross training socks listed on the
website but those are only listed in white, the pairs he gave me are
green and blue, so they may actually have other other lines of socks
that are not posted on the website, you will probably have to contact
them to ask.

Here is a site that you see what they offer.
