This shawl is an original design byLouise Robert for Biscotte Yarns. Bain de soleil (which means "sun bath" in french) highlights high quality hand-dyed yarns, including Speckled Super Sock from the Louise Robert Design Collection. A soft and warm sunbath to wear all year long - especially needed during the cold winter months!
"The inspiration for this shawl came from the colors themselves. Waiting for a spring that was late coming, I had a visceral need for vitamin D. This is how “Bain De Soleil” (which mean Sunbath in french) fell from my needles as would a ray of heat on my skin on a summer day." - Louise, talking about the original colors (Kit #8)
Unfortunately, the colorway I picked (#1) did not work well with this pattern. I did use one of the colors and added two colors from my stash. I will use the other two colors for another project. As always, I love your yarn! It is so nice on my old hands.

A lovely "quarantine gift" for me!
Really love the colors and softness of my "quarantine edition" yarn! I know I will enjoy knitting this shawl up and wearing it.

Just like the photo, only better!
I originally got the pattern for this shawl because I thought it was so pretty. Then I decided to get the yarn. All I can say is WOW. The colors are even more vibrant than the photo, and the yarn is kitten-soft. This will be a joy to make and wear!
