Inspired by the Gulf Shores National Shrimp Festival... Originally made exclusivley for a yarn shop in Mobile, AL, but we liked it so much, we had to bring it out for you!
This is a Kaleidoscope of saltwater teals and shrimp flavored peachy-orange (like Salmon, but that's the wrong water animal for this post), with specks of golden yellow.
Dyed on our Sprout base in Sock weight.
Complementing Colors: Night Zone, Gulfstream, Clearwater, Georgia Peach, Nectar, Goldenrod, Sunflower.

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.
