This tallit is literally purple on purple. I had bought the semi-sheer polyester blend in Finland years ago, thinking that I might use some of it for stripes in a more conventional tallit, but now I decided to use it as the main piece. I added a piece of iridescent Indian cotton to each end for length. The color of the cotton goes perfectly with the main fabric and it's a little sturdier so I could make the holes for the tzitzit.
This tallit is the latest in my series of inexpensive tallitot that are still pretty and unique. I can keep the price low because the construction is very simple. The fabric speaks for itself, thus no need for stripes or other decoration.
P.S. This tallit sold exactly one week after I posted it. Am I onto something?
