About this print

Mauve is a soft grey-toned lilac-rose shade between lilac and taupe. The colour is lilac with grey folded in, so muted that it behaves like a neutral. On an overcast Danish afternoon it looks grey, and in warm indoor light the rose returns.

This shift makes it interesting to sew with, because the fabric shows two expressions depending on the light in the room. A garment in mauve looks different depending on where you stand, and the rib structure adds another layer when the light hits the ribs.
