Kit Shade

Mouche the Bear is designed by Cinthia Vallet. Please note that the kit does not include the pattern. You can purchase the book that includes the pattern here.

The Mouche the Bear kit is designed by the very talented Cinthia Vallet of From Cinthia, a fab indie designer, who specialises in bringing these beautiful little creatures to life.

Mouche has a big heart, with a lot of extra room for love and friendship. Except for the three lonely sleepy winter months that he relishes each year, he is the happiest bear when surrounded by his friends. He’s very jolly, chatty and always up for a party!

The Mouche the Bear pattern, as well as his other animal friends, are available in Cinthia’s book, ‘Mouche and Friends’, published by Laine Publishing, which we also stock!

Yarn Characteristics

Knit by Numbers 4ply: Knit by Numbers is inspired by the much-loved paint-by-numbers kits of our childhoods. With a colour palette of over 100 different shades it’s created by blending pre-dyed fibre tops with specific percentages of white, resulting in six tonal gradient shades per colour. The blend of Bluefaced Leicester and Merino is next-to-the-skin soft with great stitch definition and just the right amount of shine.

50% Bluefaced Leicester / 50% Falklands Merino

400m per 100g | 100m per 25g minis

Care Instructions

We recommend that our yarns are gently washed before use as we don’t do any washing or conditioning after the yarns are spun and skeined. You’ll be amazed by how much the fibre blooms after a soak and it will certainly help you get a more accurate feel for gauge and character of the yarn over time.

Once your piece is finished, we recommend another hand wash before wet blocking the piece to the given dimensions. This will set all your stitches and guarantee that your garment looks its best.
