I named the 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 dyed this yarn on Squoosh DK using my Splashed and Speckled method, which means each skein has the same colors but in different places.
