We can’t get enough of this awesome self striping yarn by Havirland! The vision of Carol Ocker, a super local dyer from southern Maryland, these beauties are eye candy as well as a colorful and fun knit! We’ve got Pax Sport, and Sotterly Sock, a fingering weight–both are ideal for fun sock knits and eye-catching shawls. Let these colorful yarns do the work for you while you sit back and enjoy the color changes. I am loving the Pax Sport for Wendy Johnson’s Gusset Heel Socks (check out the project link below under pattern recommendations!), and with the generous 200 yards I’m thinking of making 2 pairs of low ankle socks (maybe one for a friend, or two for me!) The color names are as inspired as the colors themselves, with Sexy Lumberjack, Holiday Hangover, Shark and Awe, and Knit Fast, Die Warm

Pattern Inspiration:
Graffiti on the Metro by Kimberlie Pettit
Cool fingering weight fingerless mitts for still-chilly Spring evenings. Or cool offices with fingers free for typing.
Gusset Heel Sock by Wendy D. Johnson
This sport-weight sock is a quick, easy knit (and free pattern) perfect for the waiting room or any-spare-minute-knit. This is an ideal canvas to let the amazing colors of Pax Sock shine through!
Typhoon by Josh Ryks-Robinsky
Pair one skein of Sotterly sock with a solid skein of fingering (try Miss Babs Yummy 2-Ply or Neighborhood Fiber Company Studio Sock) to create a canvas for color play. Add a pop of color to your favorite plain white tee!
