Didymos Purple-royal Indio (1 and 2)

So first, there was Purple-royal Indio with 40% linen. It was only available in size 6 in very limited quantities. I bought a size 6 for personal use. A week later, Purple-royal Indio/2 was released. I have both here right now, time for the geeky comparison you've all been waiting for!

Purple-royal/1 is thin. Very thin. Purple-royal/2 is 20% heavier for the same size, so I think it's safe to say it's 20% thicker. It feels a bit more substantial.

The colors are exactly the same, the purple is the same and the royal blue is the same. But the linen thread in Purple-royal/2 is thicker double, thus creating a little more contrast.

I love them both very much!
