Mononoke

This color is part of La Bien Aimée Anime Collection: a stunning array of colors inspired by anime movies, mythology, and Asian pop culture.

The color Mononoke is inspired by the princess herself, who wears the pale beige fur of a wolf on her back, and whose fair skin bears brown tribal markings and the scarlet smear of animal blood. The base of this color is variegated, and blends pale beige through a warm, light gray and into a mid-toned cool brown. Speckles of midnight blue, forest green, rusty brown, and blood red decorate this colorway.

A note from the dyer: when knitting the colors of this collection for garments, it is ideal to alternate skeins to get even color coverage. These colors will pool, if that is the color effect you are looking for, embrace it! I especially love how these colors look knit up in socks for the pooling effect.
