Purple Star is the name of a pretty little native flower that grows around Tasmania. It is a pretty medium shade with light pink tones. 

Sustainable and untreated, a yarn that is as close to its natural origins as possible. No superwash treatment, just a wash to remove the grease and dirt from the fleece then combed for spinning. A great choice for those looking for a luxurious, non superwash, no nylon yarn.
