Many of you have welcomed our new Bérénice yarn on their needles, and we thank you sincerely! We have received lots of requests to extend the range of available colors and allow more blended combinations with our other yarns. So I’ve decided to develop some new colors a little earlier than planned for the end of winter, with an eye to the spring we’ll be dreaming of in a few weeks’ time 🙂
Welcome to “crème”, “poivre et sel”, “cacao”, “eucalyptus”, “Iroise”, “libellule”, “argile”, “genêt” and “l’heure bleue”!
You can create tone-on-tone combinations with both our worsted and carded yarns in the following three colours:
Bérénice “crème” with Albertine et Pénélope “crème” and Ulysse, Gilliatt and Cyrano “sel” or “poivre blanc”
Bérénice “argile” with Albertine, Pénélope, Ulysse, Gilliatt and Cyrano “argile”
Bérénice “libellule” with Albertine and Pénélope “libellule” and Ulysse, Gilliatt and Cyrano “plume”.
You can combine the other six colours, “poivre et sel“, “cacao“, “eucalyptus“,”genêt“, “iroise” et “l’heure bleue” in tone on tone with the corresponding Ulysse, Gilliatt and Cyrano colours:
