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 Sock/Fingering weight.
Complementing Colors: Robin Egg, Pine Grove, Ultra Violet, Night Zone, Tiffany, Navy, Aubergine
Accents: Raspberry, Goldenrod, Brick House, Kumquat, The Bee's Knees

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.
