Picture this: we’re sitting on a beautiful balcony with a view of the Eiffel Tower and we can smell the flowering trees in bloom. We’re munching on fresh croissants (a chocolate uone for me) and sipping espresso. A little pitcher of fresh spring flowers is on the table and we sigh in contended happiness as we pull out our knitting and crochet to make the latest French inspired knits in the colors of the new season.
La sigh… in reality I can’t see the Eiffel Tower and the ground is still covered in 4 feet of snow. But the beauty of art is in the dream, oui?
In celebration of the spring season, we made that delightful daydream a scrumptious set of 5 full sized skeins.
Enjoy creamy ivory, dreamy blues, peachy pinks, sunny yellows, and all the speckles with French inspired names. Revasser, Vivant, Retrouvailles, Paquerette, and Epanoui are ready to be made into something gorgeous!

Bad Sheep Yarn strives to represent the true colors of our yarn in the photos we post. We also work hard to make sure that larger orders are in the same color batch. In spite of all this, please keep in mind when ordering that each batch is done by human hands; and that some computer monitors have different light settings. Our ultimate goal is to create something beautiful, as close to the photo as we can, just for you.
