Watermelons are probably the perfect summer snack, especially when you've worked up a sweat outside! That sweet, juicy red fruit with a dash of salt... Just don't eat the seeds!
As a kid, I believe watermelons were one of those treats that had no comparison. But when they are cut, the melons have a naturally wonderful and simplistic look - They have certainly caught Penelope's eye here.
Dyed by Penelope, age 8, in our Rainbow Soup Collection... (Don't worry, the dyeing is done under professional supervision)
A Kaleidoscope that divides into quarter sections, but when it's twisted up it looks like a cut away slice of watermelon. Fading from the green rind into the pink middle - with seeds!
Dyed on our Sprout base in Sock/Fingering weight.
Single Colors we recommend: Charcoal, Guava, Sour Apple, Lime Peel, Forest, Natural, Nectar, Rosé, Noir, Smoke

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.
