Le Bear was our June 2021 feature for the Sleeping Bear Yarn Club. Dyed exclusively for us by the lovely Mindy of Chrysalis Yarn Co. in Dallas, Texas, this variegated skein is a wash of watery, pastel hues in a full range of mauve pinks, sherbet orange and lilac purple. Dry and matte to the touch, with 50% cotton this skein has enough wool to give it stitch memory, but is lightweight and breezy for summer.

437 yds–100 g
50% superwash Merino wool, 50% cotton

The inspirational photo is taken from the shores of Lake Michigan in Glen Arbor, at the site of the former (and current!) Le Bear. For those of us who’ve lived or vacationed in Leelanau, Le Bear, with its breathtaking sunset views, was a restaurant filled with memories and a cornerstone of the county. (Melissa was a server there during one of its last years open, the summer of 2001.) Blu, the current restaurant at the resort, is one of the best dining experiences in Northern Michigan.​​​​​​​

Machine/hand wash cool, lay flat to dry for your piece’s longest life.
