It is said the "Dawn Patrol" are those who get the day going early. From surfing to hiking to the military - the idea is to get outside at sun up. Here, we recreated this feel, the feel we had this summer at the beach. A treasured time no matter where you are... And it happens daily!
First Light; before the sun’s heat, before people & crowds, before life begins; Peace, quiet, calm.
This is a Kaleidoscope dye style. Blending Magenta (deeper hot pink) with orange for the sunrise, but then there is the teals representing the water and sky that have yet to be touched by the sun's heat.
Dyed on our Sprout base in Sock/Fingering weight.
Complementing Colors: Magenta, Night Zone, Clearwater, Gulfstream, Kumquat, Georgia Peach, Sunflower, Goldenrod, Navy, Penelope, Bubbles, Creamsicle.

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.
