Coromell Lace ... Royal Purple. A lovely soft Baby Alpaca/Silk /Cashemere blend that loves the dyepot. This is a wow! yarn. It is so soft and silky and the cashmere just puts it over the top. The silk adds a beautiful sheen it is a lovely lace yarn. Dapple Solid dye technique. The Tudor Series. Colors: The color of Royalty. This was inspired by a beautiful rich velvet cloak with silk brocade trim worn by the Cardinal. Purples, a dark bugundy tint, violet tints. The tones were built up in layers to try and capture that rich look of velvet. I've become obessed with trying to get the yarns to have that rich cut velvet look from this period.

Care:
Handwash cool water, air dry flat. I prefer to handwash all of my hand dyed yarns to prolong the life of the color.

Color bleeding can be normal for hand dyed yarns. I take special care when setting dyes and I thoroughly rinse the yarns. Blues and reds can be difficult to completely exhaust. A good tip is to add some distilled white vinegar to your final rinse water; it will stop the bleeding. I also recommend using a gentle wool wash such as Soak, Eucalan. I always use luke warm water for my knits and handwash even if it is superwash. 

All of my yarns are dyed with professional dyes for light and wash fastness. I strive to take the best pictures possible but please remember that computer screens may vary with color.
