PURPLE IRIS Indie-Dyed Yarn on Sparkly Merino Sock

Regular price $28.00

Quantity Available: 0

The inspiration for this colorway came from the beautiful purple irises in our next-door-neighbor's yard. Almost half the skein is dyed a deep rich eggplant. The other colors are soft lilac, daffodil yellow, and spring green. I then lightly speckled over the lighter colors with purple.

All of this is on a sock or fingering-weight yarn base made of soft superwash merino with 8% sparkly lurex. If you enlarge the pictures, the sparkle shows really well just as it does in real life.

Purple Iris

This yarn looks exactly like everybody's favorite purple iris, the one growing in your grandmother's yard. I expect variations in hand-dyed yarn and my two skeins do look a little different than the pictures above, with more of the spring green and less of the eggplant and lavender. It's just beautiful and makes me wish I could still grow irises. This yarn is going to make a gorgeous spring shawl!

Ms. Hanson's service was impeccable. My order came fast, wrapped in pretty tissue paper like the gift to myself it was. I have ordered several times from Purple Lamb and will do so again.
