NEW YARN: Entre Soeurs & Laine
There are yarns we like… yarns we admire… and then there are the ones we simply cannot get enough of. The kind that make you pause mid–unboxing, grin like you’ve just heard your favourite old song on the radio, and immediately start planning a project you absolutely don’t have time for but will cast on anyway.
That’s exactly what happens every time a shipment from Entre Soeurs & Laine arrives. These two Quebec sisters keep sending magic our way, skein after hand-dyed skein, and somehow each batch steals our hearts all over again. Their colour sense, their fibre blends, the care in each pot, it all adds up to yarn that’s impossible to resist and even harder to keep on the shelves.
Hand dyed in small batches in Quebec, their bases range from soft and sturdy fingering to airy mohair that floats like a whisper. Whether you knit at dawn with your first cup of coffee or late into the night with a warm lamp at your shoulder, these yarns feel like companions to the moment.
Here’s a look at the beauties now in store.
