Navy Teal

This is color rectitude: if we don't care for a color (this was originally an uninteresting greenish hue) we overdye it with Indigo, as we did here; now it has a depth to it, you can see into the color, it has layers, it is many, one color is over another making a third and a fourth, the mixing is optical rather than chemical (mixed in your eye and your heart), and that charges the color with an energy that only natural dyes have.  They radiate the light of the natural world, of dawn,  of rainy days, of forests fragrantly abloom, of dusk and of so much more.  Natural dyes come from our world and they colorfully tell about where they've been.

This color was dyed in a limited editions of 12 skeins.

Each worsted skein weighs 2 ounces (50 grams) and it is 140 yards in length; the wool comes from our superfine Saxon Merino sheep and is hand-dyed with natural colors on the farm.  Expect 5-6.5 stitches per inch using US 5-8/3.75-5.25 mm needles.
