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.

Gauguin, Paul was a post-Impressionist French painter and an important figure in the Symbolist art movement of the early 1900s. I recognize myself in the process by which Gauguin was led to create his oil on canvas painting entitled ‘‘Where do we come from? What are we? Where are we going?’’ - 𝑳𝒐𝒖𝒊𝒔𝒆

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.

Ma préférée dans les Kid Silk !

La Kid Silk de Louise Robert est très douce et je l'adore. Combinée avec d'autres laines, la richesse des couleurs me fait craquer chaque fois !

Utilisé avec un fil fingering de Patrick Knits donne la tension requise pour tricoter le pull Pretty Ribbon - sera sur mes aiguilles très bientôt !
