La Bien Aimèe x Bread & Butter x Kristine Vejar - Gateau Breton Cowl Bundle

The ribbed Gâteau Breton cowl is an easy, fast knit made of the most delectable combination of yarns: La Bien Aimée’s Big Kumo and Bread & Butter’s Everyday. A strand of each yarn is held together to create the fluffiest, softest, warm fabric.

My friend made a buttery, delicious cake known as Gâteau Breton for the holidays and it has been on my mind ever since! So when making this cowl, also buttery and delicious, and thinking of what to name it, instantly I thought this would be the perfect name.

This cowl pattern is a wonderful way to use two delectable yarns, play with color, and keep things nice and easy so you can watch your favorite movie or visit with friends while knitting.

La Bien Aimée (LBA) yarns are absolute heaven to knit and to wear. Each skein is a jewel. The nuance in colors have to be seen with your own eyes to be believed. LBA was founded by Aimée Gille. All yarns are handdyed in Paris, France. It is such a treat to offer these yarns to you! 

Bread & Butter is Verb's sister yarn company. Made in the U.S. from U.S. born and bred Merino sheep, this yarn is good for the planet and its softness is good for you! Each colorway is made of multiple shades offering a beautiful nuanced, heathered hue.

If you would like to go for higher contrast, feel free to shop our pages dedicated to single skeins of Big Kumo and Everyday.
