Purple Wool

Colour is a wonderful expression of ourselves and purple is no exception. It is frequently associated with royalty, wealth, extravagance and luxury. For some, purple represents their artistic flair, creativity, and spirituality.

Purple stands between red and blue on the colour wheel and, therefore, offers you great scope as a crafter - you can veer towards cooler 'blue' shades or warmer 'red' tones. If you're looking to make your next knitting or crochet project a statement piece then opt for stronger tones such as amethyst. Darker tones are found in rich and warm shades of plum and aubergine whereas hues of lilac and lavender offer lighter and gentler options. Need a strong contrasting colour? Look no further than yellow - its natural opposite!

We offer a variety of brands available in our collection, including DROPS, Rowan, West Yorkshire Spinners, Rico Design and many more. Choose your desired yarn fibre and weight and get cracking with your project! If you need inspiration for a project, be it a jumper, shawl or blanket, our knitting patterns will set you on your way.
