Robinson is in Emilie Luis’ book “Un été à tricoter”!

Designer Emilie Luis @atelieremilie has created a lovely collection of light and colourful designs for this summer!

“Un été à tricoter (A Summer of Knitting)” is a beautiful book featuring 10 step-by-step patterns and an introduction to the basics of knitting that will make you want to slip a pair of needles into your suitcase 🙂

Emilie has chosen our Arles merino and recycled cotton yarn Robinson for her « Oscar » cardigan: it’s knitted from top to bottom without seams, featuring dropped armholes and a pretty two-tone neckband that adds a touch of whimsy. Cosy without being too warm, it’s an easy-to-wear piece to keep you warm on chilly evenings.
