Ball at Netherfield was inspired by the ball hosted by Mr. Bingham in Pride and Prejudice. The richness of the colors, the warmth of the company (except Bingley's wretched sisters), and the elegance of the ball were the inspiration for this colorway.
It's a variegated colorway dyed in blocks of color.
I dyed this on my Squoosh DK yarn base, which is made of extra-fine superwash merino and comes in extra-large 4-ounce skeins.

YARN SWATCH
I have included two photos of a hat I knit using Ball at Netherfield on Wonderful Worsted. It should give you an idea of how the colorway will work up, but keep in mind that how it looks will vary a lot depending on the pattern you use and the yarn base as well.
