‘Violet’ is a crochet designer sweater made in a lovely purple colour. It features a raised textured stitch pattern with long sleeves and ribbing at the cuffs and around the neck. The lower edging has a scalloped shell design.
 
In Tudor times in England purple was a colour for clothes that was only allowed for royalty or the very wealthy as it was a dye colour that was rare and difficult to obtain. The colour was derived from the mucus of a rare species of sea snail found in the eastern Mediterranean and off the Atlantic coast of Morocco. The dye was originally discovered by the ancient Phoenicians in the city of Tyre (modern day Lebanon, south of Beirut). 
 
The yarn used in this garment has a modern-day dye which has undergone testing for harmful chemicals and is an assurance of safety and non-toxicity (Oeko-Tex).
