Miss Purl
- Ships in July, August and September
In knitting, a purl is a stitch made by putting the needle through the front of the stitch from right to left, a maneuver that rarely comes up in hybridizing iris. This striking rose bitone amoena is unusual for a pastel-colored offering, because of the brooding feeling it engenders. Observe the dark plum beard and the smoldering color scheme of the falls. A closer look at Miss Purl is rewarding. Standards are a pretty orchid pink, with a tawny periphery. Satisfying lilac centers in the falls blend outwardly, red, then rhodonite pink. Miss Purl is more than just flit and scamper. Miss Purl is an iris you ll want to have in your stash, an iris you ll want to yarn on about to your friends. Annabelle Rose X Petticoat Shuffle
