A Kaleidoscope of colors... A spring-water aqua under a rich, clean blue and a dark blue-green & vibrant purple, accompanied by fleck of yellow, reds, and purples, reflecting the colors of tropical waterways.
This brings back memories of my childhood in Florida. The time spent in springs, rivers, and bays, exploring the underwater world of the manatee, (Reece's favorite animal). Manatee Bay is our take on the safe harbor water and fauna of these gentle creatures. During the cooler months you can find them lurking and grazing about in warm waters in-shore. Reflecting grace and peace, they are majestic. As Jimmy Buffett said, lets “Work together to safeguard the manatees and the places they call home.”
Dyed on our Sprout base in the DK weight.
Complementing Colors: Robin Egg, Pine Grove, Ultra Violet, Night Zone, Tiffany, Navy, Aubergine
Accents: Raspberry, Goldenrod, Brick House, Kumquat, The Bee's Knees

Sprout, our signature blend
We start with Domestic (USA) grown wool, from the wool pool, with a particular micron count that gives the yarn a soft handle, yet able to with stand common uses.
The wool is super-washed (or made washable) so you can machine wash it for easier care.
Combed for full worsted spinning to make it more durable, much less "pokey" fibers, with a thicker feel.
Nylon is added just to aid the durability, but with only 10% nylon (making it usable as a Sock yarn) it seems it's 100% wool.
An over-twist on the plying makes splitting difficult and makes the yarn stronger.
Sprout was designed by us with durability and flexibility in mind, with the unrivaled quality of an All-American made yarn, ready no matter where you take your project.
