As seen in the photos and knitted swatches, the purple remains soft and \"muted,\" avoiding any bright or saturated floral tones in favor of a more nostalgic, antique look. It is the perfect choice if you are looking for a calm, balanced, and organic palette. In the swatches, you can see how the five intensities blend seamlessly into one another, moving from a deep twilight shadow to a soft, misty morning finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSTOCK \u0026amp; SHIPPING TIMES:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIn Stock:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ready to ship in 1-3 business days.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDyed to Order:\u003c\/strong\u003e This set is made specially for you. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003ePlease allow \u003cstrong\u003e2-3 weeks\u003c\/strong\u003e for your set to be crafted and fully dried before shipping.\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eNote on Batches: Hand-dyed yarn varies slightly between baths.
