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.
ABSINTHE, known mainly as the famous liquor that bears its name, is an aromatic plant well known since ancient times and used at the end of the eighteenth century as an aperitif. The first time I heard about absinthe was in an art history class based on a painting by Degas: Absinthe. - Louise- Composition: 70% Silk, 30% Seacell

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.
If you love to knit with Biscotte Yarns, you will fall head over heels with this artisanal, hand-dyed AGULA MARINA yarn by Louise Robert Design.

In order to preserve the delicacy of this fibre, we advise you to wind any skein of Algua Marina with great care.

Très agréable à travailler. Projet inspiré du patron Ziggy d’Andrea Yetman.
J’adore cette laine elle se tricote merveilleusement bien
Bonjour, j’ai enfin terminé mon chandail. L’expérience de tricoter avec la laine Algua Marina, sa douceur, la brillance de sa couleur rehaussé par la soie m’a procuré un réel bonheur. Je recommande cette laine sans réserve.
Merci
Joanne
Vraiment ravie de cette magnifique fibre qui ne contient pas de laine, mais seulement de la soie et du seacell! Elle est douce, beau fini reluisant et ne me pique pas! J'ai une peau ultra sensible à la laine et je suis bien contente d'avoir découvert la ALGUA MARINA. Voici le châle Gossamer, patron de Janina Kallio, que j'ai réalisé avec cette laine.
J'aime beaucoup ce fil il est extrémement doux cependant pour un petit chandail, ça fait un peu lourd, peut-être qu'un jour , je le raccourcirai .Pour la couleur, ma photo est plus ressemblante . C'est le patron Ziggy d'Andréa Yetman.
