La Bien Aimée (LBA) yarns are absolute heaven to knit and to wear. Each skein is a jewel. The nuance in colors have to be seen with your own eyes to be believed. LBA was founded by Aimée Gille. All yarns are handdyed in Paris, France. It is such a treat to offer these yarns to you!
La Bien Aimée Volute is a beautiful new yarn base that allies the delicate softness of cashmere to the strength / sturdiness of a core in merino wool. A fluffy yarn, the cashmere is spun around a solid thread of merino wool. So you get the best of both worlds! A strong durable yarn with the softness / lightness of cashmere.
Volute is named after delicate tendrils of smoke going up lazily into the air. A light fingering weight, it is light and soft as can be. The perfect yarn for accessories, Volute offers 250m for a 50g skein.
