SLEEPY HOLLOW Indie-Dyed Yarn on Stained Glass Fingering

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 colorway on Stained Glass Fingering, which is a soft and squishy 2-ply yarn made of 100% superwash merino. The thing that makes Stained Glass Fingering uniquely wonderful is that one ply is made of white wool while the other alternates between black and white, so when I dye the yarn, it looks like leaded stained glass. Each 100 gram skein has 437 yards.

YARN SWATCH
I have included a couple photos of a hat I knit using Sleepy Hollow on a worsted-weight version of Stained Glass to give you an idea of how it can knit up. Keep in mind that that base doesn't have the black ply this one does.
