Start a shawl or scarf with a little romance and plenty of rich color. Princess Bride brings together plum, dusky purple, muted berry, and smoky blue, with lighter passages that soften the deeper shades. It’s a moody, wearable palette for a project you’ll look forward to picking up.
Inspired by William Goldman’s story of love and adventure, this colorway was part of Frabjous Fibers’ 2024–2025 Tour of the Season literary series. The Mad Hatter sport weight base adds soft merino warmth and a comfortable spring to your knitting or crochet.
Simple stitches give the blended colors room to shine, whether you’re making something for yourself or a fellow book lover.
Great for: Knitted shawls, crocheted scarves, cowls, and richly colored accessories.
