A Watercolor dye style, a technique that creates a blended color from far away using multiple shades of the same color family, but as you get closer the individual colors shine! This watercolor blend is of deep aqua blue, green and grey.
The Loch Ness Monster, or "Nessie," is a legendary creature of Scottish folklore, said to inhabit Loch Ness in the Scottish Highlands. Nessie is a mystery, just like this colorway. Looking at it in low light, or from a distance, it looks identical to our dark aqua, Twilight. But looking closely, there is a depth to this colorway.
Dyed on our Sprout base in Sock/Fingering weight.
Complementing Colors: Twilight, Elephant, Lake Blue, Night Zone, Pine Grove, Moss

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 the plys makes splitting difficult and makes our yarn stronger. With an S-twist, it's great for knitting! Since it's not a loose plying, crocheters need not worry.
Twist matters.
