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 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.
