Note from Sundara...I wanted to try my whole "dark without using black" on silky merino because this yarn is really hard to get super saturated and intense. It's the silk. It does that. And, somehow, recently, I started following The Dahlia Society on Instagram, so I've been feed a continuous diet of super pretty dahlias the last few weeks. Resistance was futile. I also happened to have a long discussion with my nieces and nephews on how Santa Claus could totally be real because Auntie Sundara still has a very real fear of vampires even though they are supposedly not real. This all came together in today's yarn.
Because really, who says Dracula wants everything to be red just because he likes blood? Maybe he wants to mix it up every now and again. Put a little purple into rotation. A sophisticated little scarf in this color would be just the thing. For him or for you. It would keep the chill off his bloodless neck and it would keep him from sucking your blood. Win-win.
And this is a very sophisticated purple. It's dark, yet it has all kinds of color variation going on that you really have to see in person to get the full effect. It's spectacular. All that layering of color to get the "dark without using black" totally paid off. Dracula would be thrilled.
"Dracula's Dahlias" will not be dyed again.
