💜 Amethyst – Hand-Dyed Speckled Cotton Yarn

A soft purple base scattered with delicate amethyst & violet speckles.

Meet Amethyst, one of the most magical speckled yarns in the Life in Loops family.
This dreamy colourway begins with a gentle pastel purple base, then dances with speckles of deeper amethyst, lilac, and violet. The result? A soft, whimsical yarn full of movement, personality, and gemstone-inspired charm.

It’s playful without being busy, delicate without being pale — the perfect speckle for blankets, garments, baby pieces, and gemstone-themed projects.

✨ Colour Inspiration

Inspired by natural amethyst crystal clusters, this yarn captures those tiny flecks of light and shadow found inside polished stones.

The speckles add:
💎 depth
🌙 quiet sparkle
💜 soft pops of colour

…while the base keeps everything gentle, cohesive, and beautifully wearable.

Pairs perfectly with:
🤍 White
💜 Iris
💗 Fairy Floss
💙 Baby Blue
🤎 Malted Milk, Chocolate Shake
🖤 Charcoal & neutrals
