Dyed by Reece, age 12, in our Rainbow Soup Collection... (Don't worry, the dyeing is done under professional supervision)
Reece modeled this colorway off is his Betta (Siamese Fighting) Fish, Mr. Tentacles. At first, we discussed how fish can look different depending on the angle in which you look at them because of their scales. This was going to be a challenge in my mind, I mean, which angle do you represent? But, he nailed it on his first try. Matching the shading of teal-blue-purple is not easy, but this colorway is a wonderful representation of his Beta's tropical-aquatic beauty.
A deeply dyed Kaleidoscope look with a dark teal, to blue, to purple fade.
Dyed on our Sprout base in DK weight.
Single Colors we recommend: Night Zone, Twilight, Navy, Midsummer's Night, Aubergine, Gulfstream, Robin Egg, Bubbles, Wisteria, Midnight Blue, Deep Cerulean.

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.
