A lovely deep purple

This is a perfect purple: deep and rich, not eggplant, not too bright, but serious and elegant. I love this thread and use it for stitching with 2.5mm-3mm irons. It is not too heavily waxed, and a bit thinner in diameter than the smallest size of tiger thread. Quality is superior to tiger thread, as well.
