Violet - 100% Mohair - Alishan

Violet

A rich, saturated violet with a strong blue undertone, this colour sits firmly in the deeper end of the purple spectrum. It has a clear, jewel-like intensity—bold without tipping into magenta, and cool rather than red-leaning. The tone is reminiscent of crushed violet petals or the vivid glow of twilight just before night settles in.

On the skein, Violet reads as a confident, luminous purple that holds its depth even in softer light. The colour is striking on its own for statement pieces such as shawls or sweaters, but it also pairs beautifully with cool greys, deep navy, charcoal, or softer lilacs for contrast.

For knitters who love strong colour, Violet brings energy and presence to a project while still remaining firmly within the classic purple family. It’s a colour that stands out on the needles and creates fabric with real visual impact. 💜

Fibre Information

Alishan is a 100% mohair yarn with a smooth, non-fluffy finish that highlights the fibre’s natural lustre rather than a halo. Light in the hand yet surprisingly strong, it has a gentle sheen and a crisp stitch definition that works beautifully for both simple and textured patterns.

Spun to a 4 ply fingering weight, this yarn is ideal for lightweight garments, shawls, scarves and fine accessories. It can be used on its own for an elegant, fluid fabric or held alongside another yarn to add strength and subtle shine without altering texture.

Each skein is 50 grams with approximately 200 metres, making it a versatile choice for thoughtful, detailed knitting and crochet where clarity of stitch and drape really matter.

Details:

• 100% mohair

• 4 ply / fingering weight

• 200 metres per 50g skein

• Smooth, non-fluffy finish

• Light, glossy and strong

Care:
Hand wash gently in cool water using a wool-friendly detergent. Do not soak, bleach, or tumble dry. Gently squeeze out excess water (do not wring) and lay flat to dry in shade. With careful handling, this yarn will soften slightly over time while retaining its structure and sheen.

Perfect for knitters who love mohair for its character, but prefer a cleaner, more defined fabric.
