Koigu Painter's Palette Premium Merino

KPPPM - Koigu Painter's Palette Premium Merino yarns are truly hand-painted water colours.  Each dye lot (1kg) is "Painted" individually and heat applied to fix the dyes.  The dye lots are rinsed and hung on rods to dry.  Dry yarn is reeled into 50 gram skeins and then twisted and labeled.  this is a three day process.  Artist Maie Landra has mixed the colours for Koigu and the colour combinations are her creations.  New colour creations have now been created by Rhichard and Taiu as well.  Rhichard Devineze and Taiu Landra were trained by Maie to paint the dye lots in the spirit of Koigu.

There are many factors that can influence the outcome of the dye lots.  The individual personality of the artist, the mood, feelings and thoughts of the creator will have an impact.  External barometric pressure, amount of heat and the amount of water all influence the finished product.

Maie has been quoted as saying the perfect dye lot must be alive with highlights and depth, not dead and lifeless.

A refreshing aspect of Koigu's palette is that it is fearless, bold and luminous with a spark of life in each dye lot.  Each dye lot of Koigu's Painter's Palette is an individual creation and there are no two dye lots exactly the same."
