This pale pinkish-purple yarn is called "Sarah", for the "greatest of the ancient Hebrew matriarchs". She was "brilliantly beautiful and ageless...from her face an unearthly radiance shone...and acknowledged to be a more gifted prophet than her husband (Abraham)." Because of the mystical, "wise" qualities of the colour purple (as I mention for the colourway "Sophia"), and the lovely sheen of this base yarn, this Goddess-like figure of the Old Testament/Hebrew Scriptures seemed apt.
