Rare and Exotic Beast: Matt Pillbox - Port

Regular price $35.00

Tax included.

This OOAK colour is a saturated red. It's terribly difficult to photograph accurately - and red is treacherously different on different screens! I'd describe it as a fairly flat almost solid, mid-toned, red. 

Flatter in some lights, and much brighter in others. It leans more towards pillarbox and tomato than blood. Maybe like 90% tomato soup, 10% water. Fucked if I know. Maybe it's a slightly lighter Christmas red, if that means anything to anyone else!

If you're not sure, drop me a message and I can send a video or find something to compare it to!

 


(This is a very saturated colourway. I have washed it and the rinse water is clear. However, as water and washing method may vary, if you're planning on using with a lighter colour, I would recommend knitting a small test swatch with all the colours you're using, and wash and block in the usual way. Cold water and a couple of drops of dishwashing liquid is a good bet!)

Port is a smooth high-twist four ply construction. It’s great for garments and accessories. Port gets extra soft and squashy after it’s had a bath.
