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.
‘‘BELLE BRUME’’ are romantic words spoken by Ovila Pronovost to Émilie Bordeleaux in the beautiful story of the Les Filles de Caleb by Arlette Cousture, a well-known Canadian writer. Like many other teenage girls of my time, I was so seduced by the love story between Ovila and Émilie that I vigorously devoured every book in the series. - Louise

Pour mon chandail Alice . Andrea Granola et Canevas Granola
This beautuful and natural yarn from Louise Robert is genius. I needed sport weight yarn (300m/100g) for a mini KAL with a friend. This was perfect. Unlike some other hemp blends, this is very soft and next to sensitive skin friendly. I was reminded of the slubby texture and sheen of raw silk as I knit with this. The stitch definition even for bobbles was clear and the drape is just lovely. I purchased the colour Maya. Three skeins were enough to make the Corbis shawl by Natasja Hornby, without the tassels. More photos and details are on my Ravelry page. I will certainly be buying this yarn again especially for spring or summer weight garments. I should also mention that if you cannot make it into the shop to select your colours, the photos here on the Biscotte website are very accurate.
Projet à venir, mais magnifique couleur ainsi qu’au toucher. Bien hâte de la tricoter. Je vous en donnerai des nouvelles…
Ayant un restant d'écheveaux d'un autre projet, je veux utiliser une 3e couleur pour tricoter un foulard triangle pour le printemps.
J'adore cette fibre!
Une déception. La laine fait des débris tout au long de la manutention, et en plus elle boulonne.
