HIGHLAND MACKINTOSH ROSES

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.

MACKINTOSH ROSES. Art Deco is an artistic movement that experienced its heyday at the beginning of the last century. Among the artists who stood out during this period, I have always been attracted to the work of Charles Rennie Mackintosh: an artist and architect who worked along side his wife. The Mackintosh’s distinguished themselves by their own style, such as the famous motif known as the “Mackintosh rose”. - Louise
