MUSE BOTTICELLI

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 palettes that represent her life and career over the years that designer Louise Robert was able to imagine the variety available in these hand-dyed artisanal yarns.

Sandro BOTTICELLI was an Italian painter born in Florence, one of the most important artists of the Italian Renaissance and of the history of art. His favorite subject is the representation of the woman, on whom he takes a new look. His paintings, Primavera and The Birth of Venus, are two works that I particularly like. - Louise
