The yarn is bright magenta and bright turquoise swirled together, with some purple spots where the two meet, and black is speckled all over the whole skein. The two books are Butcher & Blackbird and Leather & Lark, both by Brynne Weaver. B&B is bright magenta and black, with cartoonish knives, chainsaws, skulls, birds, and a couple embracing. L&L is very similarly designed, except it is turquoise and there are musical instruments instead of quite as many weapons (but there are knives too).
