COLORWAY
Second Wind is an intense, bright, magenta, tonal hot pink colorway named after Lauren Wilson’s boat of Second Wind racing.
Lauren is a mom of two elementary schoolers and a small business owner. After putting aside her Olympic dreams as a college student, she’s going for it now, with sights set on joining Team USA for the 2028 Summer Games in Los Angeles. The thing is, chasing down a dream of this magnitude is expensive! There are travel costs, coaches and training, boat rentals for international regattas, and so much more.
I learned about Lauren and her Olympic dream from another friend, also named Lauren! In an effort to help fund her Olympic goals, Lauren Rad (aka A Bee in the Bonnet) created the 15 Knots Hat Pattern and for the first month of this pattern’s release, she will be donating $2 from each sale to the 501(c)(3) nonprofit that’s funding Lauren’s campaign. 15 knots is Lauren’s favorite wind speed, because it’s just strong enough to sail hard without having to move into survival mode.
I will also be 10% of all sales of “Second Wind” to the 501(c)(3) nonprofit that’s funding Lauren’s campaign.

THE YARN
Ghost Town DK - An American yarn rooted in the history of the wild west
3-ply, Heavy DK / Light Worsted Weight
100% SW Rambouillet/Merino Wool
228 yards / 100 grams
Spun in the US from Merino/Rambouillet wool grown and sheared in the Great Basin Region of the US.
Featuring Shaniko Wool - Double certified by the responsible wool standard and NATIVA Precious Fiber creating a fully traceable wool supply
WASHING INSTRUCTIONS
Hand wash gently in cold water. Lay flat to dry. It is normal for some color to bleed from hand dyed yarns when washed for the first time, especially a bright pink such as this. Adding a little white vinegar to your wash bath can help prevent this. Always test before adding bright colors with light colors!
