La Bien Aimée Corrie Worsted

Three new colours are now at Loop; Peach Sweater (ooh la la!), Lichen, and Mariniere Bleu.

Corriedale worsted is hand-dyed like our other beautiful bases from La Bien Aimée and blended with a melange of Corriedale and Gotland wool. The Gotland wool adds the black fibre that creates the heathery grey base of the Corrie Worsted and gives incredible depth to the gorgeous hand-dyed colours .

We are thrilled to have this base at Loop to add to the La Bien Aimée range.   See the new book Worsted- A Knitwear Collection, by Aimée Gille with lots of new patterns for Corrie Worsted, published by Laine Publishing. It’s absolutely gorgeous! (This is being re-printed and will be with us sometime in February)

And we are very honored to have received stock of the wonderful and whimsical special edition of Corrie Worsted Confetti! The Confetti version is a limited edition.

Other La Bien Aimée bases we stock include; Merino Singles, Tough sock, Cashmerino, Helix, Merino Sport and Mohair Silk.  Plenty of gorgeous colour inspiration and combinations!

Veera Valimaki, Sari Nordlund and Jonna Hietala have dreamt up some beautiful new designs specially for the launch of this yarn.  You can see each of the designs on Ravelry.  Framework, Rococo and Piilo.
