Varney the Vampire -- Ursula Base (yak sock) draculaVarney the Vampire, or, the Feast of Blood, is a sprawling, ridiculously extended saga of a smelly, Rasputin like vampire named Sir Frances Varney. An extensive series of penny dreadfuls follows Varney over 232 chapters through death and revival, until Varney finally dies for the final time by hurling himself into a volcano. Varney as a colorway is a moody dusk blue with highlights of lava and moonlight violet. Base: Ursula (Yak Sock) 70% Superwash
