Louisa Harding

Fleuris is a beautiful yarn created by Louisa Harding in a gorgeous blend of 70% bamboo and 30% wool. This combination has been spun into a chunky yarn that is shiny, drapey and fluid with a lovely twist for great stitch definition. There are lots of rich, warm colours plus faded shades for a dramatic contrast. Louisa has created a fabulous collection of designs using Fleuris, and its sister yarn Aimee, called Chinoiserie. The designs are super-stylish with an oriental twist taking inspiration from motifs and shapes seen throughout the Far East. Knit a tension square first if you'd like to knit this yarn to other chunky patterns.

Aimee is a gorgeous yarn created by Louisa Harding in a luxurious blend of 90% cotton and 10% cashmere. The combination has been spun into a DK (approx) yarn that is soft, fine and delicate with a light twist. The colours echo the rich and lacquered shades of pink and red combined with jade and charcoal, alongside faded and antiqued coral, bronze and opal.

Saris are exotic, colourful and sparkling as reflected in this combination of 90% polyamide & 10% nylon. This is a fantastic knitting yarn from Louisa Harding that really captivated us and the combination of glitter threads and gossamer ribbon is a winner without being flimsy. Sari is excellent for making into accessories and clothing and works really well woven through soft mohair scarves. Although it is primarily a knitting yarn, just imagine it couched into an embroidery or combined into weaves, braids or tassels - wow!

This is a beautiful Italian kid mohair knitting yarn by Louisa Harding in an irresistable collection of petal like soft colourways. Some shades are single colours and the Quattro range is the variegated version, but I have listed them together so you get the full range.
79% Kid Mohair and 21% Nylon.
The ballband suggests two tension of 4mm needles with a tension of 20 stitches and 28 rows over a 10cm square and 6mm needles with 14 stitches and 20 rows. 105m per ball. This means you can knit the yarn to a chunky pattern or a finer pattern and will either create a dense, cosy fabric or a light, airy fabric from the same yarn.
Gentle hand wash, can be dry cleaned, do not tumble dry, cool iron.
Kid mohair is such a popular yarn at the moment as it has a really long meterage per ball, so goes a very long way and is light and soft to the touch. Perfect for scarves and shawls, cardigans and sweaters.
