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.
YARN BASE I dyed it on Sock Perfection, which is perfect for everything from socks to shawls to sweaters and beyond. It's made of extra-soft superwash merino and nylon.
YARN FACTS Dappled Things on Sock Perfection Literary Collection Assigned Pooling Colorway 450 yards / 3.5 oz / 4 plies 80% extra-soft superwash merino / 20% nylon Care: Machine or hand wash cold and air dry.
YARN PAIRINGS Dappled Things would go beautifully with Freedom Blue, Regal, Lilac, Phantom of the Opera, and Burgundy Rose.
YARN SAMPLE I included a photo that shows a sample knit by my friend Natalie using the floret stitch from Dawn Barker's Float shawl, and another photo shows it knit in stockinette.
TIMELINE This yarn is dyed and ready to ship. I ordinarily ship in 1-2 business days.
QUANTITY I show multiple skeins of yarn in my photos so you can see the small differences between each one, but each skein is sold separately.
