I do not know.
Looking carefully at the available pics online I am guessing a lot of commercially purled stuff is just 3+3+3+3+3+3+3+ to the other end of the workpiece and the colors fall where they may.
For the small pieces having two colors twisted to the right just doesn't look good, to my eye. For the larger twisted to the left I personally like either monochorome or two tone. So that is how I made mine look.
If I do another one someday in clan Scott I will probably make all the purls monochrome. It looked sort of elementary to my eye when I experimented with it, so I took those back out. Someday I will have one of each.
When I am done tying knots I am going to message BarbT. I think I'll have it drycleaned, then check the tension on all the knots and then trim off my fuzzy tips.
I want to check with her before I do that and have bolded your question above for her future convenience.
