💜 Iris – Hand-Dyed Cotton Yarn

A gentle, airy pastel purple with soft vintage charm.

Meet Iris, one of the sweetest pastels in the Life in Loops collection.
This very light purple feels calm, delicate, and beautifully nostalgic — the kind of colour that makes you slow down, breathe, and enjoy every stitch.

Soft as a pressed flower tucked between book pages, Iris brings a graceful, almost whisper-like touch to any project.

✨ Colour Inspiration

Iris is designed to feel like soft lavender fields in early morning light — pale, soothing, and effortlessly pretty.
It pairs beautifully with Fairy Floss, Lemon, Lime Sorbet, Baby Blue, Apricot Sorbet, and even your neutrals for a timeless pastel palette.
