Shades: Soft lilac hues shifting between light and shadow. Crystal Amethystis inspired by the natural beauty of amethyst Geodes and crystal clusters, where rough exteriors hide breathtaking beauty and shifting colourplay. Their association with clarity, calm, and luxury. The barely perceptible herringbone chevrons are redolent of the crystal shards of amethyst.

Design:The classic, rhythmic chevron pattern of a heritage herringbone weave, featuring a marled grey base. Its slightly obscured herringbone pattern softens the classic chevron into a subtle texture. Woven with a soft, brushed, heavier gauge boucle yarn featuring a predominantly lilac-amethyst hue with the addition of a superfine charcoal twist within the yarn. The weft yarns alternate between the two yarns and produce an allover marled-speckled effect to the overall surface.

The weave hides within itself a subtle, obscured herringbone pattern, creating depth and intrigue: a heritage structure glimpsed beneath modern softness.
