Self-striping yarn is a brand of magic all its own. Vertical stranding is no less magical; it allows knitters to create vertical stripes in their knitting without intarsia or managing floats. Combine two magical elements and the result is positively spellbinding, as witnessed in these Gridlock socks. These socks are designed to feature the striping sequence found in Fibernymph Dye Works Inversibles Sets.
