Comments: Blue Ball of Yarn
From Easton: Blue, generally associated with purple (Exodus 25:4; Exodus 26:1, Exodus 26:31, Exodus 26:36, etc.). It is supposed to have been obtained from a shellfish of the Mediterranean, the Helix ianthina of Linnaeus. The robe of the high priest's ephod was to be all of this colour (Exodus 28:31), also the loops of the curtains (26:4) and the ribbon of the breastplate (28:28). Blue cloths were also made for various sacred purposes (Numbers 4:6, Numbers 4:7, Numbers 4:9, Numbers 4:11, Numbers 4:12). (See COLOUR
