La Bien Aimee's softest yarn!

Aimee was inspired by her travel to Japan to bring an alternative fiber to her yarn line that gives you the feeling of wearing the lightness of clouds. It's a great yarn to hold together with Cashmerino (or a more rustic fingering-weight yarn) to create a lusciously soft fabric for your shawls and garments.

A beautiful mix of Falkland Corriedale and Gotland Wool, Corrie Worsted offers 230m (250 yds) for 100g. This worsted spun wool is deliciously soft and blooms beautifully when wet blocked, without growing at all. La Bien Aimee is pretty sure it's the perfect sweater yarn and we hope that you will love it as much as we do!

The big sister to Felix, Corrie Worsted is a natural Non-Superwash yarn base that is spun specially for La Bien Aimée. A light grey base color, the color palette is made of 30 of their best-selling tonal colors.

A super soft, plumpy mix of non-superwash Falkland Merino and Corriedale, they have developed this lace-weight base to be knit alongside another laceweight, held double with itself or with silk/mohair or Kumo to give you a sport-weight gauge.

Andrea Mowry wanted an easy-to-slip-on layer while traveling that was similar to the Traveler Hoodie, but easier to take on and off in small, confined spaces (hello planes). This is a drop shoulder, open cardi with big pockets.

This cardigan is worked from the bottom up, seamlessly, except for the underarms. The shoulders are finished with an exposed seam using the 3 needle bind off. The collar & cuffs are picked up and knitted out from the body. The pockets are knit separately and sewn on once the cardigan is finished.

The Iris Hat is knitted with two strands of yarn and the brim is folded triple for extra warmth and coziness during the winter months. Combining a strand of silk-mohair knitted together with a fingering weight merino yarn makes the hat really soft and gives it a beautiful halo.

Our kits feature La Bien Aimee Kumo held with Cashmerino for an extra yummy squish and fun colors. The pattern (included) specifies size US3 DPNs or a long circular needle for the magic loop method.
