The pattern
About Collioure
This design also marks my first collaboration with Les Petites Potions and its precious Obsidienne yarn, a blend of yak and silk of exceptional softness. Its fluidity, natural drape and subtle sheen beautifully showcase the rhythm of the stripes and give Collioure all its elegance.
Knitted from the top down, Collioure is designed as a timeless piece, as pleasant to knit as it is to wear. A sailor sweater that celebrates beautiful fibers, color and the joy of creating a garment you will keep for a long time.
