KID SILK ♥ CONTEST

To celebrate the launch of my new collection of hand dyed yarn KID SILK, I invite you to imagine your own original knitting pattern! The pattern can be a garment or an accessory such as a sweater, a cardigan, a shawl or a scarf that can be knitted using my KID SILK hand-dyed yarn. If you wish, you can also use one (or more) other yarns from the Louise Robert CollectionThe most important thing is to incorporate the new KID SILK!

KID SILK

My Kid Silk yarn is made of 75% Kid-Mohair and 25% silk. Each skein contain 25g /218 yds of yarn.

Use the KID SILK alone or combined to another yarn! Whether it’s for a scarf, shawl or sweater, this exquisite hand-dyed yarn will add a fluffy texture and warm colors to all your projects.
