Dyed by Penelope, age 8, in our Rainbow Soup Collection... (Don't worry, the dyeing is done under professional supervision)
Penelope was inspired to create this colorway from a set of Peacock feathers we received from a friend. The "eye" of the male Peacock feather is where she pulled the color from... She finds the beauty in the little things. I'm not sure why she named it Peri, but she was very certain that should be the Peacock's name. So, we hope you like Peri the Peacock.
A Kaleidoscope that fades (or walks) into a rainbow of colors. From Purple to Burnt Orange... Blue, Green and Orange jump out at first, but there is an aqua-teal hidden, and the purple is deeply dyed. A delightful gold pops through as it brings all the colors together.
Dyed on our Sprout base in Sock/Fingering weight.
Single Colors we recommend: Wonka, Bleu Royale, Deep Cerulean, Gulfstream, Sour Apple, Forest, Midsummer's Night, Goldenrod, Kumquat, Pumpkin Spice, Toxic.

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.
