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.
FRIDA Kahlo is a Mexican painter of the early 20th century. Despite her fragile health following a car accident, Frida was a woman of true character, way ahead of her time. Her Mexican heritage is reflected in her colorful and daring work. My interest and admiration for Frida Kahlo go without saying! - Louise

Customer Reviews
I purchased 3 generously sized skeins & made 2 beautiful shoulder shawls, used the remainder to make a third one along with complimentary colors BECAUSE I JUST COULDN'T STOP RUNNING THIS YARN THROUGH MY FINGERS till I used it all up -- toughest decision will be which color to buy next!! Roberta.
I had a skein of this for a pair of socks for my husband. Loved the colorway so much that I had to buy another skein for me.
This is such a well-behaved, polished yarn. The silk adds strength and a little sheen which makes stitches come to life and gives the overall fabric a lovely drape and elegance. The yarn is smooth and easy to knit with, it blocks well, and is a perfect weight for an indoor sweater. The colors are just mesmerizing! I love how this yarn is so saturated with color yet maintains a gentle varying of shades.
I couldn't be happier with this gorgeous yarn. The colorway is beautiful and the yarn is so soft! Highly recommend!!
Beautiful shawl with this yarn-soft, easy to knit, compliments galore
