A Single color (i.e. tonal solid) of medium toned aqua. Its name originates from the Latin word caeruleus (meaning "dark blue" or "sky"). We think it's more of an aqua feel - like a pool - but sky works too.
Lighter than the popular Deep Cerulean.
Dyed on our Sprout base in Sock/Fingering weight.
Color Family: Bubbles, Deep Cerulean, Twilight.

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.
