Gumdrop Tweed

Pair together with Gingerbread Tweed for a seasonal but understated Christmas vibe! 

Gumdrops first appeared in the early 19th century and the oldest types of gumdrops still produced are the "spice" flavors - clove, anise, spearmint, cinnamon, and wintergreen. It's assumed they were probably like other sweets at the time (probably medicinal). Gumdrops are also used to decorate gingerbread houses and gingerbread men. :)

Gumdrop Tweed is a deep, grape purple with multicolored tweed neps.
