Neons & Neutrals: a Knitwear Collection Curated by Aimée Gille of La Bien Aimée.

Posted by on

The latest book from Laine Publishing is here – let’s look at Neons & Neutrals: a Knitwear Collection Curated by Aimée Gille of La Bien Aimée!

Aimée Gille is the dyer behind La Bien Aimée, and for this eclectic collection, she reached out to designers with a wide range of aesthetics, whose work differs from one another and speaks to all kinds of knitters. Her first book, Worsted, had a particular yarn as its theme, but this new book is all about color, and illustrates that theme with yarn of all kinds.

As its title suggests, Neons & Neutrals features unexpected, eye-catching color combinations and textures. Most garments and accessories are shown in two different colorways, showcasing yarn from a variety of producers and dyers.

Some of these designers are well known, and the others are worth getting to know – Inese Sang, Maaike van Geijn, Karen Cronje, Anna Husemann, Layla Yang, Caitlyn Turowski, Cecelia Campochiaro, Valerie Ng, Maysa Tomikawa, Florence Spurling, Lotta H Löthgren, Brandi Cheyenne Harper, Marie Régnier, Susan Chin, Brienne Moody and Julia Wilkens.

While we may not have every yarn shown in Neons & Neutrals, we have so many lovely substitutes throughout the shop – we’re happy to help you find the perfect yarn for your project!

Neons & Neutrals: a Knitwear Collection Curated by Aimée Gille of La Bien Aimée is $43,  and available here at the shop – we’re still taking online orders for local pickup or shipping, as well. We also have a few copies of Worsted ($40), and many other beautiful books from Laine Publishing!

Many of these designers are well known, and the others are worth getting to know – Nadia Crétin-Léchenne, Stephen West, Sylvia Watts-Cherry, Andrea Mowry, Tif Neilan, Saysha Greene, Norah Gaughan, Maxim Cyr, Nancy Marchant and Thien-Kieu Lam. She asked them to create sweaters and accessories in her new Corrie Worsted yarn, and what they’ve come up with is inspiring and varied, indeed!

While we don’t carry La Bien Aimée Corrie Worsted, we have so many lovely substitutes in our worsted weight section: Brooklyn Tweed Shelter and Tones, Kelbourne Woolens Germantown, Malabrigo Rios, Fibre Co. Cumbria Worsted, Berroco Ultra Alpaca, Plymouth Galway, Ewe Ewe Wooly Worsted, and more.
