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.

OMBRAGE (which means shadow in french) brings a very special dimension to Fine Arts. The great painters have used it since the Renaissance to give volume and depth to their canvases. As incredible as it may seem, there is an history of shadow in the evolution of Fine Arts. A legend reported by Pliny the Elder identifies the shadow as the origin of the painting's creation. The legend is about a young Corinthian woman, in love with a man who had to leave the city, and drew the shadow of her beloved on a wall by candlelight.

Bouclier tunic

The yarn was soft and flowed naturally into a tunic. I used the Autumn Breeze pattern minus the tuck in the back, putting in another row of the lace pattern instead. Very beautiful result. I had enough left over to make a second sweater.

Gorgeous yarn!

I love that the base is merino and silk, and thus natural fibers. And with a name like Pistachio Ice Cream, I knew it was the one for me! I'm making the Pretty Ribbons pullover and though I had to get 4 skeins from 3 different dye lots, I'm working by alternating skeins near the end of each ball and will hopefully have a nice result.

A Yarn of Beauty

I made a beautiful shawl for my friend with this yarn. The intensity and richness of the color is amazing.

2023 Advent Calendar Rudolf Sock pattern.

First time I have worked with the DK Pure yarn. I knitted the socks from this pattern. I love this yarn. I want to order the same yarn for more socks for my family. Are there different colors?
