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

Not the Colors I Expected

The yarn itself is nice enough, but the colors were not what I saw in the photo on the website. I was expecting a skein of very pale, slightly pink with hues of green and grayish blue. What I received was a combo of pale cream and medium taupe, like the pictures of the Merino Worsted Brooke. So I returned it in exchange for a different yarn.

Beautiful color and feel

The color works up beautifully. I did a swatch with two different patterns and was not disappointed by either. The feel of the yarn while knitting on my hands was so nice. Socks will soothe special someone’s feet.

Gorgeous Strawberry Thief

The Strawberry Thief colorway is beautiful. There are so many subtle colors - it’s a joy to knit. And the SuperSock base is soft yet strong. I love it and can’t wait to try another color when I finish the Summer Lovers socks for the knitalong. Recommend.
