When I originally dyed this colorway, I was aiming for something for Halloween. However, after I dyed it I thought it looked great for all of autumn and not just Halloween. I decided to name it Sleepy Hollow after Washington Irving's short story, "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow."
Whether you decide to use it for Halloween or just as a great fall colorway, I hope you enjoy it!
I dyed this yarn on Sparkly Merino Sock, which is made of 92% superwash merino and 8% sparkly lurex. It's a lovely base for shawls and cowls and hats.YARN FACTS
