Enotions Design came about because of the lack of easily available quality yarns in remote areas of Canada. Good quality yarns and patterns can make your experience a great one. We don't even want to talk about the bad experiences (you have them hidden in your closet!)
Then the tough part came, where do I get yarn from and what do I choose? It is hard enough choosing for yourself! After much research I focused my attentions on a select group of quality brands - Sirdar, King Cole, Hayfield and Bergere de France. Most knitters are familiar with the first three brands. Check out "About our Brands" for more information.
Bergere de France is a less well known brand in Canada. It is a quality yarn company based in France. All of their yarn is made in their mill in Bar-le-Duc, in the heart of the Lorraine region. The patterns are fabulous with Paris trends and are designed for babies, children, women and men. They also have home dec patterns! I have never seen such a range!
One of their latest pattern magazines is for Autumn/Winter. At first I thought they were a little late in releasing this until I realized they are following the Fashion World. It makes total sense! Why release this in the Fall when it is too late to make the fashions for the winter season? Release it in early spring and you have lots of time to make it for the Fall. Bergere de France has it all worked out!
This eye-catching crochet cardigan has colourful openwork flowers decorating both
sleeves but just one side of the front. The cardigan is crocheted entirely with a 3 mm crochet hook. It is made out of Bergere de France's Ideal yarn which is a blend of 30% Acrylic, 30% Polyamide, and 40% combed wool. The nice thing about this yarn is it has a lovely soft hand plus it is machine washable. Click here to check out the wide range of colours.
Not a crocheter, check out this gorgeous sweater that you could wear in the late summer, early fall.

This sweater has short sleeves
and a wide collar to make it just right whatever the weather: in winter,
try wearing it with the collar up, over a long-sleeved top, to keep out
the cold. And when the sun comes out, the openwork stitches will give
it the very latest look. The sweater is knitted in 1 x 1 rib and cable
stitch on 4 mm, 5.5 mm and 12 mm needles, plus a cable needle and a 4.5
mm circular needle. It is made out of Bergere de France's Baltic yarn which is comprised of 40% Polyamide and 60% Acrylic. It is a bulky weight yarn that is machine washable so easy to care for. Click here to find out more.
There are lots of other lovely patterns in this magazine. I just received them so I haven't decided what to try first. If you see something in the magazine that we don't have the yarn for, just let me know and I will order it for you.
Until next time - happy creating!
