A Reader Question About Bosie Starnight Blue Navy, and a Few Fair Isles...

A reader question:

Hi Muffy,

I hope this email finds you well. 

Thank you for such engaging articles, as always. You are keeping me sane and providing me with a sense of community as I endure the chaos that is finishing a postgraduate degree.

May I please ask you a question about the Bosie Shetlands? I am looking to purchase my first Shetland and I cannot for the life of me decide how I feel about the "Starnight Blue Navy" colour. I cannot decide whether it is a good navy or not and I am concerned it is straying into royal-blue territory.

If you have time, I would love to know your thoughts.

All my best wishes, as always,

My response:

I am extremely fond of Starnight Blue Navy.  You can see it here in the Bosie "new this season" Fair Isle that I just received.  It is a good bright Navy, a bit brighter than their traditional Navy, but not straying at all into Royal Blue territory!
