Victorian Ghosts
The annual Ex Libris Fibers Halloween Countdown and Readalong is almost here!
Each day, from October 19-31, read along with a Victorian Ghost Story while you unwrap a mystery skein from June's Victorian Ghost preorders!
We'll begin counting down with mystery yarn on October 19, but you can read along even if you didn't preorder the yarn countdown!
Yarn reveals can be found from October 19-31 on Instagram and on the Ex Libris Fibers blog.
Each mini skein (and one full skein to round out the countdown) is inspired by a particularly haunting tale from the Victorian Era - all available in the public domain (see links below)
Or, check out a copy of Victorian Ghost Stories: An Oxford Anthology if cozying up with a print book is more your speed!
