The Paths of the Dead is one of my Lord of the Rings colorways. It represents the part where Aragorn goes to ask the dead kings who had broken their oaths to fulfill those oaths and finally have rest.
The colors are gray and gold for the dead kings, chocolate for the path, and purple for Aragorn. There are black speckles for the darkness of the path.
In spite of the sinister theme, this is a lovely mostly neutral colorway that would make a great sweater on its own or look wonderful with the other Lord of the Rings colorways.
I dyed this yarn using my Splashed and Speckled method, which means each skein contains the same colors but in different places, making each one unique. If you plan to use more than one skein in a project, I recommend switching skeins every few rows to create a more consistent look.
I dyed it on my Squoosh DK yarn base, which is made of extra-fine 19 micron superwash merino and comes in extra-large skeins.
