"Who shall conceive the horrors of my secret toil as I dabbled among the unhallowed damps of the grave or tortured the living animal to animate the lifeless clay?" - Dr. Victor Frankenstein

Mary Shelley's 1818 novel Frankenstein took inspiration from real life: trends of galvanism and grave-robbing, coupled with Shelley's radical socialist heritage are combined to give us a cautionary tale against unhindered progress. This densely-speckled color works up with eerie aqua hues under dense greenery, lifeless purples, and copper accents.

Base: Solnit (Sock) 75% Superwash Merino Wool; 25% Nylon 463 yards / 100 grams

Price listed is per one (1) skein of yarn.

All indie-dyed yarn works up differently depending on gauge, project size, and needle/hook size. Swatches are shown in sock base, from a previous dye batch, to give an average idea of the colorway.

Hand wash in cold water and dry flat. Alternate skeins for large projects.
