I named this colorway Dappled Things after Hopkins' poem, "Pied Beauty."
This is an assigned pooling colorway where the assigned color is a a beautiful royal blue, and the other three-quarters of the skein is a mixture of blue, lilac, violet, and purple. It would work well with any of Dawn Barker's assigned pooling patterns as well as my own.
I used my Sparkly Merino Sock base, which is made of 92% superwash merino and 8% sparkly lurex. It's a lovely base for shawls and cowls and hats.
