Scandinavians and Islanders therefore obtained their violet differently: through \u003cstrong\u003elichens\u003c\/strong\u003e. Orchil, known as \u003cem\u003ekorkir\u003c\/em\u003e in Iceland, was scraped from rocks and then macerated in fermented urine for \u003cstrong\u003eseveral weeks\u003c\/strong\u003e before yielding a deep violet. The process remained in use in Scotland and Iceland until the 19th century. Violet was therefore not expensive in terms of raw materials: it was expensive in \u003cstrong\u003etime\u003c\/strong\u003e, a form of luxury that our modern economies have forgotten.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo learn more, a Scandinavian cloak did not button up: it was fastened with a brooch.
