Description
THE WOOL BUNDLE

🌼 Original design by Rie @kouvive
🌼 Original wool bundle by Biches & Bûches
🌼 Natural wool (100% Lambswool + 72% Mohair & 28% Silk)
🌼 Wool spun and dyed in Scotland with traditional Scottish savoir-faire for the Lambswool and in Italy for the Silk & Mohair

We are delighted to present "To Draw", the gorgeous sweater designed by Rie with Le Gros Lambswool and Le Gros Silk & Mohair 🐚

The sweater features a knit square in seed stitches in the center of the front and the back of the body. The front square is knit with Le Gros Silk & Mohair held together with Le Gros Lambswool so this part bulges out a bit and looks like a framed piece of art hanging on the wall. Imagine an abstract painting or a landscape photo interpretating your favourite colors.

Rie has also designed the Drawing Hat in the same series.

A few words from Rie

"I live in Japan and started knit design in Ravelry in 2016. I studied clothing at a technical school when I was young, but after that I worked in the photography industry and art galleries before arriving at my current knitting lifestyle.

The fashion images of the 1960s~1970s, which I have loved since I was young, have accumulated in me, and I think my designs are inspired by them. Now that I live in the countryside, I am moved every day by the daily scenery, the seasonal color changes of the mountains, and the changing nature. I would like to add these things to my designs as well." – Rie
