Colourways in this Kit

Tea in Veranita

Tea is a lush and immersive colourway that draws its inspiration from the rich shades of nature.

Ciel d'Orage by La Bien Aimee

Hand-dyed in Paris, each La Bien Aimee skein is truly unique. The splashes of pink, grey and black speckles make way for playful stitch definition. The result is a visually striking yarn that seamlessly blends these two shades to produce a captivating and versatile colour palette.

Disclaimer: Due to the nature of hand-dyed yarn and different screens/devices, colours may vary slightly from the images.
