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\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePekoe 4 Ply – 100% Mulberry Silk Yarn\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePekoe is a beautifully smooth 4 ply\/fingering-weight yarn spun from 100% mulberry silk. With 400 metres per 100g skein, it has the familiar yardage of a traditional 4 ply yarn while offering the lustre, drape and distinctive character of pure silk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a spun silk yarn, Pekoe has a soft, gently textured handle rather than the very sleek finish of a filament silk. The spun fibres give the yarn a little more body and grip while retaining the natural sheen and fluid drape associated with mulberry silk. Colours appear rich and luminous across the surface of the yarn, with subtle variations adding depth to the finished fabric.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePekoe is well suited to shawls, wraps, lightweight garments and accessories where drape and colour are important. It can be worked on its own for a soft, flowing fabric or combined with another yarn to introduce silkiness, lustre and depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a pure spun silk yarn, Pekoe is not recommended for socks or other items subject to high abrasion or heavy wear. It is best suited to projects where its softness, lustre and flowing drape can be enjoyed without excessive friction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSilk behaves differently from wool and has less natural elasticity, so a swatch is recommended when using Pekoe for fitted garments. The finished fabric has a graceful drape and a smooth feel against the skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eYarn Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFibre:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% mulberry silk\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spun silk\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4 ply \/ fingering weight\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 400 metres per 100g\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuggested uses:\u003c\/strong\u003e Shawls, wraps, lightweight garments, tops, cardigans and low-abrasion accessories\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNot recommended for:\u003c\/strong\u003e Socks or items subject to high abrasion or heavy wear\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand wash gently in cool water using a mild wool or silk wash.
