The crochet stone tile stitch is one of our favourite stitches because it reminds us of the designs of some Sicilian majolica, where the straight lines are blended with curves. Also where the colors are bright and bold. It’s for this reason that we have chosen our Cleopatra yarn, a cotton and linen blend, in the color of Citron. However, on the shop the entire collection offers real gems for those who are attentive and passionate about the quality and beauty of colors.
