ALGUA MARINA SOUS-BOIS
This hand-dyed artisanal yarn is no ordinary knitting yarn: the designer behind the knitting patterns Louise Robert Design meticulously created this beautiful collection.
It's by studying the color pallets that represent her life and career over the years that designer Louise Robert was able to imagine all of the variety available in these hand-dyed artisanal yarns.
SOUS-BOIS, or undergrowth, is the short forest vegetation that grows between the ground and the bottom branches of the trees. For me, the undergrowth represents calmness, freshness, and the smell of grass, moss and bark that I love to breathe in during my walks through the woods. There is no better smell in the world than that of the forest! - Louise

Combined with silk, it creates a luxurious and shiny thread.
