Sugar Plum Tweed

What is a sugar plum anyway? Apparently they date back (in usage of the term) to the 17th century and generally refer to a hard candy that it is in the shape of a plum (rather than actually having to do anything flavor wise with a plum). Could be fruit! Could be nuts! Could be seeds! No one cared as long as it was vaguely spherical in shape, apparently. But now we live in the 21st century where words MEAN THINGS (mostly) and so we're just baffled. Conceptually, the sugar plum fairy is a pretty, sparkly pinky-purple lady in our dreams (to us) and this tweed reflects us. 

Sugar Plum Tweed is pale warm purple-pink with multicolored tweed neps (a la gumdrops!)
