The colorway is called Sprite. It certainly has some energy to it. Untortunately, this South African company went out of business some time ago. Too bad too, as I used to enjoy their yarns very much.
Back in the 1980's, this color was so 'in'. I can remember having leg warmers in this color when I was in 5th grade. I never got rid of my ski jacket that also has this color in it. My hope was that it would come back into style again.
In the knitting and spinning universe, I sometimes see these neon colors again these days. I have not seen a lot of them in quilt fabrics. I think it would be really fun to see some of them made out of Oakshott fabric. Maybe they will eventually do a neon line.
Until then, I'll spin this into something very light weight. Probably for a lace shawl.
