Brown Sheep Wildfoote in Forget Me Not on top, I-have-no-idea-because-I-lost-the-ball-band so I'll just refer to it as mystery grey on the bottom left and Madelinetosh Tosh Sock in Logwood on the bottom right. These are all also fingering weight and are all solid contenders.
2-ply sport in 100% alpaca from Winters Gone Farm on top and Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sport in Twilight on the bottom. The alpaca is undied. It's from Loki, who's very, very dark brown. (I met Loki. He's very nice. He let my kids feed him and didn't spit on us.) I mistakenly ordered the Lorna's laces in sport weight but since I'm planning on knitting at least one pair in sport weight, it's not a problem.
I've decided to shoot for 6 pair. I'll be home for 11 of the 16 days so 4 pair seems kind of unambitious, especially if at least one pair is in sport weight. Also, I have a lot more sock yarn than I realized and one of the goals is to get the stash down to manageable levels. The next step is to swatch my patterns and figure out which yarns will be used for what patterns.
