April in Paris is The Fibre Co.’s debut collection for the yarn Luma. There are six patterns inspired by the ‘City of Lights’ with each design taking its name from a Paris landmark.

Grand Cerf celebrates the labyrinth of hidden passages scattered across Paris and is named after the beautifully restored Passage du Grand Cerf located in the 2nd arrondissement and just happens to be the location of a lovely LYS called Lil Weasel.

This flattering wearable garment has a simple construction knit from the bottom up with minimal shaping. The top is finished with a rib and slashed neck opening. There are side splits to the waist with a slightly longer rib at the back hem compared to the front.
