We asked Leanna to make us a custom colorway and we are so thrilled with what she made. It is a strong teal with splashes and speckles of kelly green and purple that are UV reactive! This color is so hard to capture in a picture. The colors are very teal, vibrant, and delicious. When it sparkles, it sparkles!
We now have it on 8 of her fantastic bases! Most feature dreamy-soft 19.5 micron superwash merino.
