Mint Julep DK – Hand Dyed by Cat & Sparrow
Spring has well and truly sprung, with ‘Mint Julep’ our latest, zingy collaboration with Rachael, the dyer behind Cat and Sparrow. This delightful shade has been hand dyed on her Superhero DK base that we spin here at our Mill, and we have a very limited number of these beauties available for you now.
We are chuffed to bits that Rachael from Cat and Sparrow decided to collaborate with us again.
This time Rachael has dyed this limited edition shade on her Superhero DK base. This stunning blend is one we spin for her right here at the Mill, and is a mix of 35% Romney / 35% Bluefaced Leicester / 30% Falklands Corriedale perfectly soft, yet oh-so versatile! It’s 3ply construction ensures that it’s bouncy and squishy with plenty of elasticity. Yum!
Mint Julep just screams Spring to us. The fresh feeling of a cool breeze, new vibrant foliage, the first ice creams at the beach, refreshing drinks at the end of a day, all of these vivid images brought to mind a radiant and zesty green and we love how Rachael took this inspiration and created the lovely Mint Julep.
The mix of cool-toned greens and turquoise with the hints of darker teal are so punchy and perfectly capture the feelings of excitement and anticipation at this time of year.
