Mood lavender

I have been working on new purple colorways for the last few weeks, marbleizing different blue, purple, and gray wools in my dye pots. Trial and error have produced some lovely results.

Strewn on my dye kitchen table are wool experiments and notations along with paint chip color cards for inspiration. I like the color cards, as they give me ideas for different directions I can take the colorways. I want to produce colors that are not only beautiful, but are also more muted. This way they will be gentle on the eyes when used in rug hooking projects, quilt making, or other fiber work.

This new happy blending of color has been created to reflect a lavender frame of mind.

From left to right they are:

Lavender – looks so much like it’s namesake, with that soft mid-purple tone

Purple Haze – a light lavender color with muted gray-purple highlights

Spanish Lavender – another variety of lavender that leans toward a dusty pinkie-purple

Hidcote – a variety of lavender that has a slightly deeper blue-purple, like a dusty sapphire

I have made these colors available on my etsy shop. To see them CLICK HERE

Speaking of sapphire, I am working on that colorway next! I should have it finished soon. So, the purple passion continues. Check back next week for more.
