Deep Purple/Plum/Mulberry coloured tinsel - have you seen any?

I am posting as I am laid up with a bad ankle but I am desperately looking for some tinsel for my tree in a deep purple colour but I've been everywhere I can think of but I cannot find anything. The best I have seen is a feather wrap thing in B&Q -only I am allergic to feathers so not ideally practical.

Has anyone got any ideas, online or in the shops, just where I can find any as I've been down the high street to no avail, I've looked online and cannot find anything either. We are going to London at the weekend so maybe there is a shop there that I can pick this up in. Can anyone help? Thanks.

The only place I've seen this colour was B&Q. It wasn't feathery stuff, it was proper tinsel but it was narrower than the usual size. I got it for my daughter's pink tree. She's such a girlie. :rotfl:

Thanks, I did look in B&Q but could not see anything, I am stuck at home and cannot get out which is a real pain in the backside so I am just ringing around! Maybe I'll wait until the weekend and see if they have had a new delivery. The baubles I saw in Argos were looking pretty grim so I did not bother with this, I do not mind paying a few pounds more if I am going to be able to use them for a few years. The tree is up but it is looking kind of bare!! LOL!!

Perfect. Out of stock but I am off to Westfield on Saturday so I will take the 20% voucher and get some then.
