La Bien Aimée Corrie Confetti is a limited edition yarn made from recycled fiber and threads from our mill and atelier. My confetti project is evolving in 2024… I want to keep exploring interesting fiber blends while continuing to upcycle our fiber and yarn waste from La Bien Aimée. Each spin will feature different mixes of our recycled threads on exciting new colors. And because we are changing the blends, starting in 2024, our recycled yarn will be called Confetti. What does this mean for Corrie Confetti? Well, it is the end of this chapter for this yarn. It was a great run, and we are excited to move on, to make new and exciting things for you. This means that the quantity of Corrie Confetti online is the very last of our stocks, and once it’s gone, it’s gone! Nancy’s Speckled Sweater is an undyed brown Falkland Corriedale in a warm neutral brown / taupe. The pops of color are all recycled yarn threads from Nancy's extensive stash. This is truly a one-of-a-kind release. RGO: RGO, which means Really Good Orange, was a color inspired by the Iconic Orange Lady, Gaye Glasspie, the famous GG. If you would to learn more about the conception of the RGO color, please read this article on our blog. Corrie Confetti RGO is an amazing bright orange with colorful recycled La Bien Aimée yarn threads spun directly in the fiber. Ochre: I like to think of Ochre as the “original” Corrie Confetti, as it was the very first color that we released on this recycled base in September 2021. The color is based on Yellow Brick Road, one of La Bien Aimée’s all-time best sellers and my absolute favorite color. Ultramarine: Inspired by one of our most iconic colors, Bleu Royal. You’ll ask yourself is it blue or is it purple? Pair it with one of our mohair silks to really add extra depth to this complex color, such as Violet Amethyst or Bleu Royal. La Corrie Confetti est une toute nouvelle laine, une édition limitée unique en son genre composée d'un mélange de fibres naturelles recyclées dont des restes de laine La Bien Aimée et de la fibre de Falkland Corriedale teinte. Cette base d'une grande douceur contient 50% de Corrie Worsted teinte dans un coloris exclusif, et le reste est un mélange de fibres recyclées de notre filature et des bouts de laine colorés récupérés de notre studio de teinture et de notre atelier. A partir de l'automne 2021, nous allons commencer à proposer des quantités limitées de Corrie Confetti. Chaque lot sera d'une seule couleur, alors profitez-en tant qu'il y en a, car il se peut qu'on ne fasse pas reteindre ce coloris pendant un bon bout de temps! Il y a eu Ochre, puis Greybow et Framboise. Le dernier né de la famille Confetti s'appelle Nancy's Speckled Sweater, il est inspiré de notre coloris Sandstone ! Mariez-le avec un fil de Mohair Silk pour un rendu unique et d'une douceur exceptionnelle. CORRIE CONFETTI 230m (250 yds) for 100g. DK / Worsted weight 50% Falkland Corriedale, 30% Natural Recycled Fibers, 20% La Bien Aimée Recycled Threads.

Worsted – A Knitwear Collection Curated by Aimée Gille of La Bien Aimée is a knitwear collection featuring 14 patterns by 10 incredible designers. The designers all have their unique style and speak to many kinds of knitters. Now they come together to form a beautifully cohesive collection. You can find garments such as sweaters and cardigans and accessories like shawls and hats, with techniques ranging from stripes and stranded colourwork to cables and textured stitch patterns. This book features designs by the following designers: Nadia Crétin-Léchenne, Stephen West, Sylvia Watts-Cherry, Andrea Mowry, Tif Neilan, Saysha Greene, Norah Gaughan, Maxim Cyr, Nancy Marchant and Thien-Kieu Lam. Aimee of La Bien Aimée started working on this book in early 2021. With Worsted, she wanted to create a tangible way to connect with people through knitting and bring joy. During the challenges of the pandemic, Aimée found comfort in immersing herself in creating a new yarn base, Corrie Worsted, and inspired by it, all of the designs in the book are worked in worsted weight yarn. In Aimée’s own words: “I hope that you will welcome the adventure of casting on a new project from this book with perhaps some of that beloved yarn you have curated for your stash or why not go on a yarn escapade and mix Corrie Worsted with other yarns.” Sweaters and cardigans are graded into various sizes, reaching from size 1 (30” / 75 cm bust circ.) to at least size 8 (or 65” / 165 cm bust circumference). Aimée Gille was born and raised in Kansas, the United States, and later moved to France, where her passion for knitting was reignited. In Paris, where she now lives with her family, she first opened L’OisiveThé, a wonderful knitting café, and later La Bien Aimée, a yarn company whose gorgeous hand-dyed yarns are sold worldwide. Worsted est la première collection de patrons de tricot réunie par Aimée, la créatrice de La Bien Aimée. Tous les patrons sont tricotés en utilisant la laine Corrie Worsted de La Bien Aimée. 14 patrons de 10 designers différents, dont Nadia Crétin-Léchenne, Tif Neilan, Nancy Marchant, Andrea Mowry, Maxim Cyr ou encore Stephen West. Pour l'instant, le livre n'est disponible qu'en anglais, mais une traduction française est prévue pour l'année prochaine... 160 pages 14 knitting patterns (5 sweaters, 2 cardigans, 1 poncho, 3 shawls, 2 cowls, 1 beanie) using worsted weight yarn Editor: Aimée Gille Hardback Language: English Weight: Approx. 650 g / 1.4 lb Print only, no digital download code available.

La Bien Aimée CORRIE WORSTED: our first Worsted base! A beautiful mix of Falkland Corriedale and Gotland Wool, Corrie Worsted offers 230m (250 yds) for 100g. This worsted spun wool is plump and wooly and blooms beautifully when wet blocked, without growing at all. We are pretty sure we've developed the perfect sweater yarn and we hope that you will love it as much as we do! The big sister to Helix and Felix, Corrie Worsted is a natural Non-Superwash yarn base that is spun specially for La Bien Aimée. A light grey base color, we have dyed 30 of our best-selling tonal colors on it, including a few new colorways such as Avoine and Bone, Payne's Grey, Mist, Moria, Olive Juice, and Belle Rose. Corrie Worsted was recently featured in the Aviate pattern by Karel Chan for Amirisu Magazine Issue 25. La Bien Aimée, Corrie Worsted est notre toute première base Worsted! Un fabuleux mélange de Corriedale et de laine Gotland, la Corrie Worsted offre 230m aux 100g. Elle est extrêmement douce et gonfle naturellement lorsqu'elle est trempée dans l'eau pour le blocage, sans grandir pour autant. Nous sommes à peu près sûrs d'avoir inventé la laine parfaite pour les pulls et nous espérons que vous l'aimerez autant que nous! La grande soeur de nos bases Helix et Felix, la Corrie Worsted est une laine naturelle, non-superwash filée exclusivement pour La Bien Aimée. Sur sa base gris clair, nous avons teint une trentaine de nos coloris les plus populaires, ainsi que quelques nouveautés comme Avoine et Bone, Payne's Grey, Mist, Olive Juice et Belle Rose. We are really lucky to have teamed up with three incredible Finnish designers for the release of Corrie Worsted: Veera Valimaki, Sari Nordlund and Jonna Hietala. They have designed three very different sweaters: a loose fitting cardigan for Veera with simple cables, a delicate lace-yoked pullover for Sari, and a casual striped sweater for Jonna. These patterns are now available on each designer's Ravelry page. Content: 75% Falkland Corriedale, 25% Gotland 230m / 250 yards for 100g - DK weight Hand wash in cold water only. / Lavage a la main à l'eau froide uniquement.

La Bien Aimée Gilliatt - DYE TO ORDER

Introducing La Bien Aimée’s brand new base, Wensley Worsted! Wensley Worsted has the same yardage and thickness as Corrie Worsted, with 230 meters (250 yards) for 100g, and it is composed of 50% Falkland Corriedale, 25% Falkland Merino and 25% Wensleydale. Just like Felix is to Helix, Wensley Worsted is the white base companion yarn to Corrie Worsted. The white base means that we can dye all our super bright colors on it. Why Wensleydale? The Gotland in Corrie Worsted creates a beautiful dark halo, almost like Mohair. Wensleydale also has long fibers that create that same kind of halo, but on a white fiber. We also recommend mixing Corrie Worsted and Wensley Worsted, both yarns go together fabulously! They are the exact same thickness and were designed to be knit together or as substitutes for each other. Wensley Worsted a le même métrage et la même épaisseur que Corrie Worsted, avec 230 mètres pour 100g, et il est composé de 50% de Falkland Corriedale, 25% de Falkland Merino et 25% de Wensleydale. Tout comme Felix l'est pour Helix, Wensley Worsted est le fil de base blanc qui accompagne Corrie Worsted. La base blanche nous permet de teindre toutes nos couleurs vives sur ce fil. Pourquoi Wensleydale ? Le Gotland de Corrie Worsted crée un magnifique halo sombre, presque comme le Mohair. Wensleydale a également de longues fibres qui créent le même type de halo, mais sur une fibre blanche. Nous recommandons également de mélanger Corrie Worsted et Wensley Worsted, les deux fils se marient à merveille ! Ils ont exactement la même épaisseur et ont été conçus pour être tricotés ensemble ou pour se substituer l'un à l'autre.

Wensley Worsted

It's always been a dream of mine to translate my love for the films of Hayao Miyazaki into beautiful colors on yarn. For this collection, I have focused on characters from my favorite films. I hope that you will enjoy them! Introducing: Nausicaa and Sea of Decay! Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind is a post-apocalyptic film from 1984 about a prophetic young princess who fights back against those who want to destroy the “Sea of Decay”, a jungle spoiled by toxic waste and human pollution. The color Nausicaa takes inspiration from the princess’s short brown hair and the lilac-blue aviation jacket that she wears throughout the film. The color Sea of Decay blends deep emerald green base tones with delicate lilac mid tones, and flashes of bright lime green. A note from the dyer: when knitting the colors of this collection for garments, it is ideal to alternate skeins to get even color coverage. These colors will pool, if that is the color effect you are looking for, embrace it! I especially love how these colors look knit up in socks for the pooling effect. J'ai toujours rêvé de traduire mon amour pour les films de Hayao Miyazaki en de belles couleurs de laine. Pour cette collection, je me suis inspirée des personnages de mes films préférés. J'espère que ces couleurs vous plairont! . Un mot de la teinturière : Lorsque vous tricotez un vêtement dans les coloris de cette collection, il est très important d'alterner les écheveaux afin d'obtenir un résultat uniforme. Ces coloris ayant une base variée ont tendance à faire des zones de couleurs ('pooling'). Si c'est l'effet que vous recherchez, parfait! Personnellement, j'adore voir ces zones de couleurs distinctes sur les chaussettes.
