MERINO WORSTED CAMAÏEU
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.
CAMAÏEU, or en camaïeu, is a term used in the arts to describe a painting process using several tones and tints of the same color. For me, the term ‘‘monochromatic’’ reminds me of an oil painting on canvas, Man and Woman Contemplating the Moon, painted by Caspar David Friedrich, during my studies in History of Art. - Louise

Loved working with this yarn.
This yarn is all and everything you will need to stitch up a lovely pattern from Biscotte. I love this yarn and Biscotte Yarns. It is beautiful and versatile. And Biscotte Yarns sent it quickly in lovely packaging
The yarn is incredibly silky and easy to work with. It is an expensive yarn but worth it. I am very pleased with my putchase.
What a gorgeous shade of coral. I think it will be just right for my daughter who loves orange, but should not wear orange orange.
Love this yarn! Making an afghan for my daughter.
