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.

GAUGUIN, Paul was a post-Impressionist French painter and an important figure in the Symbolist art movement of the early 1900s. I recognize myself in the process by which Gauguin was led to create his oil on canvas painting entitled ‘‘Where do we come from? What are we? Where are we going?’’ - Louise

Seacell is a silky fiber made from seaweed and eucalyptus fibers. Seacell is hypoallergenic and very gentle. Algae for the marine cells are harvested in sparsely populated fjords of Iceland, in places where there is no waste or pollution from ships. Combined with silk, it creates a luxurious and shiny thread.
