Picture a luxurious neighborhood in Miami, that's where Flamingo Drive sits. A place where South Beach vibes meets North Beach moms. It's a perfect blend of family days on the beach and night life at the beach. This colorway doesn't smell like sunscreen, but it would pair perfectly with that Banana Boat smell.
This is a Kaleidoscoping dyes style. Blending Magenta (deeper hot pink) with Litmus (purple-pink), over a peach background. It's an impressive colorway leading us into the summer!
(Confession: this colorway didn't like being photographed. Each color called for attention and didn't like being edited. Trust my words, not the images.)
Dyed on our Sprout base in Worsted weight.
Complementing Colors: Wonka, Litmus, Magenta, Penelope, Georgia Peach, Nectar, Guava, Rosé, Brambleberry

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.
