DK PURE LR COURTISANE

PRICE PER SKEIN

$31.00 USD

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.

The term COURTISANE designates a woman who lives at the court of the king. Over the ages, this term has evolved to take on several meanings to designate, in the feminine form, a concubine or the mistress of the sovereign. Beyond their libertine image, I have a lot of admiration for these women of influence and power who knew how to make their place at a time like the 19th century when the role of most women was limited to maternity and household chores. - Louise

Beautiful color and nice feel

Beautiful yarn. Ten percent silk is just enough to make the feel luxurious. Only caveat is to alternate skeins.

Love Biscotte yarns!

My first chance to choose Biscotte yarn in person was so exciting! The display at Vogue Knitting in NYC was incredible. It was tough to make a decision. I loved meeting Louise and the helpful staff. Thanks for sharing your beautiful hand dyed yarns!🧶

DK Pure

DK pure is an exceptional yarn. I love the way it feels when I knit with it. It is a wonderful and soft yarn to wear. The sweater I knit in DK pure is elegant and just beautiful. I was expecting the gold color to be a bit more vibrant, what I saw online was not quite what the gold looked like when delivered. However, that was more my computer’s issue. Other DK pure yarn colors have been stunning works of art!

In Awe!

The cherry pie color is a beautiful red and pure dk is so soft and is one of my favorite yarn bases.
