I'm so happy to tell you that we have the artistry of Parisienne dye studio La Bien Aimée in the shop!
The LBA Pop Up Shop which they put up in Paris once in awhile
We have their Sock and Cashmerino for now, DK coming later, and I even have some five skein collections for using in all sorts of projects like Joji's Starting Point. Those can be found at the Sock link at at our Kits & Clubs section for now, but we only have two of each so very limited.
I'm obsessed with several of these colors, like Peanut Butter & Jelly for sure.

Want to learn more about Aimee and her fab studio? LBA shared this with us...
With a passion for color and texture, Aimée started La Bien Aimée as a small project fueled by her love for knitting and desire to create a community around hand-dyed yarns. Her journey into the world of fiber arts began with a blog where she shared her personal knitting projects and musings on yarn and color. Her eye for color and her knack for creating exquisite yarn blends quickly garnered a loyal following, transforming her passion project into a full-fledged business.
The name La Bien Aimée, which means "the well-loved" in French, reflects Aimée's philosophy of creating yarns that bring joy and inspiration to every person who touches them. She believes in the power of handmade items to convey love and care, a sentiment that is deeply woven into every skein that leaves her studio.
Aimée's commitment to quality and craftsmanship is evident in the meticulous process she and her team employ. Each batch of yarn is dyed by hand with careful attention to creating complex, harmonious colorways that are both unique and consistent, ensuring that every customer receives a product that lives up to the La Bien Aimée reputation.
Her work has not only elevated hand-dyed yarn to a form of art but has also created a vibrant, inclusive community. Through workshops, knit-alongs, and social media, Aimée connects with crafters worldwide, encouraging creativity and sharing her expertise.
I'm so glad to welcome La Bien Aimée to SSYC! This is the first new dyer we've offered as part of our 19th anniversary summer celebration, and I think can't wait to share what's to come next.
I am so glad you are working with La Bien Aimee!
