While experimenting with natural dye techniques we found that our crepe myrtle blooms lent the most beautiful smokey purples… such a great surprise coming out of the dye pot!

I didn’t understand purple at all until two years ago when I found an interesting jersey blouse that was flattering in cut, despite it’s rich purple color. I bought it and wore it to an event and someone I barely knew came up to me and said, ‘that is your color!’. Since then I have re-examined the hue over and over and keep coming up positive. I have been working it in to my wardrobe through knitting and sewing and they have all been successful.

I love the idea that the color signifies people coming together. Makes me like the tone even more….

Yea! I love a good purple. I think the bad name comes from exposure to the unsophisticated, primary-colored hues many designers use.

For those of us who can’t/don’t wear red and hate pink, purple is where it’s at!

I don’t really care for purple either, after reading this, maybe I’ll be more willing to give it a try-beautifully written.
