A Single color (i.e. tonal solid) of medium, rustic, dirty blue; resembling the stone-washed look of blue jeans. Traditionally dyed with indigo, "denim" comes from the French "serge de Nîmes" meaning "Twill of Nimes"... this is not a cotton-twill fabric, but we accomplished that blue that seems to go with everything. *May be used to make a tuxedo in Canada.
Dyed on our Sprout base in our Worsted weight, but 1/5th the size a full skein.

What is Sprout?
The wool is from American grown Merino Sheep flocks. Farmers/Ranchers who grow with care for their wool and health of their flock.
American Grown
The wool is combed before it's twisted. This eliminates small fibers that itch, plus it aids durability as it leaves only longer wool fibers.
Worsted... Spun?
To replace Silk, nylon was blended to wool in the 40's for added durability and shape retention. With only 10%, you won't know the it's there, but it's doing it's job.
Why Nylon?
Over-twisting makes the yarn stronger and splitting difficult. With a Balanced S-twist, it's great for knitting! (With a tight ply, crocheters need not worry about untwisting.)
Twist matters.
