A new, gorgeous colour in the Wool Finest range: In Proper Light. This is a green-tinted yellow, with hints of grey. Beautiful on its own, I think it really shines combined with other colours. Or why not use one gorgeous skein and make a luscious little project, such as the Ava scarf: Wool Finest is […]
A beautiful cloud…

A summer blanket: Colourful Hug in Whirl
Once upon a time, there was a lovely blanket, designed by EclatDuSoleil/Hélène Marcy to display the beauty of the Mini Mochi yarn: the Colourful Hug blanket.

Hélène’s solution to the problem became the pattern for Colour Beams. Using only […]
