So many shades and permutations of purple here - from nearly-blue to sweet lavender, fading out to pale rose at the crisp petal tips...
And mohair-silk:
Sweet. I haven't ruled out doing a second colourway of the centre - titled, perhaps, Saffron? I chose not to combine them in a single colourway, but that tiny burst of pure hot-blooded joy in the centre rather makes it, don't you think?
When I first saw the crocus photo I wondered how you would handle the centers. Now I completely agree and I would love to see (buy) some yarn in Saffron! The hotter and more saturated the better!

Oh. My. God. I love this colorway. Oh please oh please say you can make it again. The extra-blueness of the merino worsted makes it my absolute favorite.

So beautiful! I love it! Also, yes for Saffron!

love it!
And yeah - it would be totally tempting to add a bit of saffron to shout out in glorious little bursts...
You really are genius with color, you know?!

Oh my....
That's so very lovely!
I am wishing HARD that I could justify spending money (or increasing my stash).
That's GORGEOUS!
