KHULLU CHARDON

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.

CHARDON is the french term for many species of thorny plants including Thistle, which is the national emblem of Scotland. I have always been fascinated by everything Celtic. Maybe it's because my great-grandfather was Irish...- Louise
