A nuanced, bold crimson red that blending warm and cool tones. Our Ruby red and Litmus purple balance the power of our Penelope pink. Designed to create a "stand-out statement", this colorway is subtle, yet pulls attention without yelling.
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 was our first dyed in our Watercolor technique. The Color of the Year for 2023.
*THIS IS AN OVERSATURATED COLORWAY: One of very few that we do not recommend putting with lighter colors. We cannot help it, it's just how the dye is made. (It has been washed post dye, but it will stain things pink as the excess washes out. No, it won't fade.)
Dyed on our Sprout base in Sock/Fingering weight.
Complementing Colors: Magenta, Penelope, Litmus, Ruby, Thistle, Wonka, Brambleberry, Plum, any black - dark grey.

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.
