Tyrian purple was the colour of royalty, created from the glands of small mollusks. It took 45kg of mollusks to make 1 gram of dye! The glands had to be harvested by hand, and then left to ferment before being used as a dye.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLuckily, this not quite Tyrian shade was somewhat easier to make from a combination of indigo and cochineal.  However, I don't plan to work with cochineal in the future, so all colours made with it are part of the Special Babies collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis skein was intentionally variegated, with sections of the pale blue not exposed to the pink cochineal dye. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bonnie's Daughter Natural Dye Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53207279239533,"sku":null,"price":46.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0978\/5586\/5197\/files\/Last_Unicorn.jpg?v=1782296368","url":"https:\/\/bonniesdaughternaturaldye.com\/products\/last-unicorn-5-ply-sport","provider":"Bonnie's Daughter Natural Dye Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
