Percy's Purple - mohair/silk/sequins - Gyrokuro 3ply

Percy’s Purple is a deep, blue-leaning purple with remarkable depth and character. 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.

There 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.

The Yarn

Gyrokuro is a luminous, lightly textured yarn with a fine, elegant drape and a quiet touch of sparkle. Spun from 64% kid mohair and 23% silk, it carries a soft halo that diffuses colour beautifully, while 3% superwash merino adds just enough structure to keep stitches defined. A delicate thread of sequins (10%) catches the light in a gentle, understated way—more glimmer than glitter.

At 300 metres per 50g skein, Gyrokuro sits in the 3 ply/heavy lace range, making it ideal for airy shawls, refined garments, and layering pieces that benefit from both softness and movement. It pairs effortlessly with other yarns—held double, it adds a fine halo and that signature subtle sparkle without overwhelming the base yarn—while still standing beautifully on its own when you want a fabric that feels light, fluid, and quietly striking.

This is a yarn for pieces that shift with the light and reward a closer look.
