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.

BONHEUR D’OCCASION is the first novel by Gabrielle Roy, published in 1945. The story takes place in the once impoverished district of Saint-Henri, Montreal, during the Second World War. Only after reading some of her work did I learn that Gabrielle Roy was also one of my grandmother’s favorite authors. It warmed my heart. - Louise

Very Pretty, But Could Be Softer

Always great service from Les Laines Biscotte. Bought this mohair to hold double with a fingering weight yarn. It looks great and has a nice halo. I have sensitive skin and I find it too itchy to wear next to my skin, but others might find it soft.

Drops Kid silk

J'ai fait des mitaines doublé avec la drops air. Je suis très contente du résultat mais malheureusement quand j'ai voulu faire un autre projet qui allait toucher la peau du cou, je me suis rendu compte que ça me piquait alors je devrai me contenter de l'utiliser lorsque je ferai des mitaines. c'est triste.

Un fil abordable

J'aime beaucoup travailler avec la Kid silk pour des projets qui demandent de la tricoter avec un brin de mérino. J'aime aussi le vaste choix de couleurs offert : on peut facilement créer de superbes associations de nuances. C'est un fil abordable un peu moins doux que le mohair de certaines autres marques, mais qui vaut la peine.

Une laine si douce et légère parfaite avec un autre fil pour donner un effet duveteux
