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.

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 Mackintoshโ€™s distinguished themselves by their own style, such as the famous motif known as the โ€œMackintosh rosesโ€. -๐‘ณ๐’๐’–๐’Š๐’”๐’†

Kid in a candy store

While visiting Montreal, accidentally walked by the shop in Mile End. So many beautiful yarns. Could have taken one of each.

Softest Yarn Ever !

Truly, the softest yarn I have ever knit with (50+ years knitting) ! Yet, extremely strong and durable, due to the silk. Rather like knitting with a spider web ! My only personal problem is, since I do not normally watch what I am knitting ~ able to knit whilst reading a book or in the dark watching a movie ~ I find I need to keep an eye on needle placement into each stitch since it is so utterly thin ~ I do not trust myself to feel the next stitch with fingers as I am easily able to do with thicker yarns. Sigh ~ what price beauty ! I guess it means I may have to just go a bit slower than I normally would. The color is different than I expected: I -thought there would be more purple-ish hues. Gorgeous anyway ~ looks rather like smoke. Definetely reccomend using the size 8 needles to allow for the loft.
