La Bien Aimée Tiny Tassels – 3 new colours!
Our super popular Tiny Tassels Shawl kit is back with the luxurious hand-dyed yarns of La Bien Aimée Atelier in Paris.
We have three wonderful new colour combinations for you in the super soft and luxurious cashmerino base. Sanho, a beautiful and bright turquoise with flecks of rust. Loam, an earthy and lush combination with Bois de Rose for the tassels and Ichigo, a soft coral with hints of vivid pink and bright yellow Buzz for the tassels.
La Bien Aimée Cashmerino Tiny Tassels
We have also brought back two previous colourways, Peerie Voe and Bisous de Loop. The Bisous de Loop (kisses from Loop) colour has been specially created for us by Aimée. Such sublime beauties, all of them!
Each kit will come with the printed pattern and a lovely blue or pink Loop special edition anniversary bag. Great for carrying your projects with you or for a very special gift!
The kits includes one full skein of La Bien Aimée Cashmerino and a small cake of La Bien Aimée Merino Singles to make the tassels.
If you need some help making the tassels, we have a wonderful tutorial in the “tutorials” section of this blog page.
