A monthly ready-to-ship micro-collection inspired by a perfectly seasonal book that I've read and loved.

And we're heading into autumn with one of my favourite modern ghost stories... 

Her Fearful Symmetry by Audrey Niffennegger

Twin sisters, Julia and Valentina,  are bequeathed a flat near Highgate Cemetery by an aunt they've never met, herself the twin of their mother. They move to London for a year, enter the tangle of lives of the other residents of the building, but it soon becomes apparent that while aunt Elspeth might have died, her soul is still very much resident in the flat...

I've dyed four shades across five yarn bases, inspired by a walk in Highgate Cemetery on a crisp autumn morning. A palette of burnt orange, russet, aubergine and granite... adding an etheral minty grey/green and shades of teal and turquoise to the mix resulted in shades that, I hope, evoke the modern ghostly mood of this woderful book!
