I know that the phrase "Festival of Lights" can mean something different depending on your background. Well, for us here in Cincinnati this has a connection with the Cincinnati Zoo. They have put on a light show every December since 1982 with the same name. This is a reflection of those cold December nights walking around the zoo.
A Besprinkled with specks of bright green, aqua, purple-red and yellow-orange over a birch gray background. And, some of the speckles are Black Light Reactive!
Dyed on our Sprout base in Sock/Fingering weight.
Complementing Colors: Deep Cerulean, Cerulean, Night Zone, Plum, Brambleberry, Birch, Sour Apple, Kumquat, Clearwater, Thistle, Goldenrod

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.
