@thevillagedyer: For centuries, the most powerful purple came from the sea. It was called Tyrian purple and it was made from thousands of tiny murex sea snails. However in the 1500s, a tree from Central America changed the game. It is our dear logwood; a heartwood that produces rich purples, deep violets, and strong blacks 💜🖤
How about mixing blue and red? surely they knew color theory

purple is such an elite color, purple is also very hard for your eyes to grasp (which is why I think it's so hard paint mixing a good purple). anyways your yarn turned out amazing!! where did you get the wood?

I thought purple being for royalty was just because they liked it 😅😅 it didn’t dawn on me that it would be expensive to make

I did a presentation on the history of antipsychotic medications. The chemical structure started from mauveine...a dye from sea snails.
