Dark enough to appear almost midnight navy in low light, it reveals rich violet and indigo undertones as the light shifts across the surface. The colour sits firmly on the cooler side of the spectrum, creating a moody and sophisticated palette that feels both timeless and contemporary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is a quiet complexity to Percy’s Purple, with layers of ink blue, royal purple and shadowy plum blending together to create a shade that is rich without being bright. Bold yet understated, it pairs beautifully with silvers, greys, soft neutrals and deep jewel tones. Whether used on its own or combined with complementary colours, Percy’s Purple brings depth, contrast and a touch of drama to any project.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNilgiri – Sparkle Lace Yarn\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNilgiri is a luxurious sparkle lace yarn that combines softness, texture and a touch of shimmer. Spun from 64% baby alpaca, 23% silk, 10% sequins and 3% non-superwash merino, it offers a light halo from the alpaca, the gentle sheen of silk, and subtle flashes of sparkle throughout the finished fabric.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 300 metres per 50g skein, Nilgiri sits in the sweet spot between a heavy laceweight and light fingering weight yarn, making it ideal for shawls, wraps, scarves and lightweight garments. The addition of non-superwash merino provides a little extra elasticity and structure, while the sequins catch the light beautifully without overwhelming the colourway.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs the sister yarn to Gyokuro, Nilgiri shares the same luxurious character while adding an extra layer of texture and sparkle. Worked on its own, it creates an airy fabric with beautiful drape. Held alongside another yarn, it adds softness, depth and a gentle shimmer to any project.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYarn Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e64% Baby Alpaca\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e23% Silk\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e10% Sequins\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3% Non-Superwash Merino\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSparkle Lace \/ Heavy Laceweight\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e300 metres per 50g skein\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Needle Size\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3.25mm – 4.5mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Hook Size\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3.5mm – 5mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLace shawls and wraps\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLightweight sweaters and cardigans\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScarves and cowls\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpecial accessories with a touch of sparkle\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHolding double with other yarns to add halo, texture and shimmer\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare Instructions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHand wash gently in cool water using a wool wash.
