Since these are hand dyed the color is never the same as pictured. But still beautiful. I’ve found most purples are duller in color and lean towards a pewter color, but that’s just the batch I purchased from. Each one is different. The quality of the yarn makes up for this though. Once I get my hands on it I can’t help but to start knitting. Such a beautiful sheen and lovely to work with. I’ve never returned a skein and intend to buy more!

Fantastic depth of color

Beautiful yarn. Looking forward to knitting with it.

I’ve knitted for over 15 years, with countless varieties of extremely high-quality, hand-dyed yarn, and Biscotte’s Algua Marina Bonheur d’Occasion is absolutely the best I’ve ever worked with. I’m a sucker for deep, multifaceted colorways, and Biscotte marries this to a lovely silky feel that knits up beautifully and has a lovely drape whilst still retaining enough structure to give my stitches good definition. Spoiler alert: I’ve already ordered more and will keep doing so - bravo and thank you, Biscotte!

This yarn knits so smoothly! While I still love this color, it’s much more muted and light than in the photo. It’s almost a silvery gray purple/lilac. Not dark at all. I love how it has slightly lighter parts mixed in. This matches Marie Antoinette ( which is also not a dark purple as pictured) color perfectly. Same shade except this one has lighter accents in it. I casted on with marie Antoinette and the last two rows I switched to Stonehenge. Very slight difference. I can barley tell.
