Garden Stories – Liloppi Ombre Cake Collection
Garden Stories is a new collection of Liloppi Swing ombre cakes inspired by a garden that tells a different story every day. Sometimes it awakens in the soft light of dawn, sometimes it bursts into a symphony of colours under the summer sun, and in the evening it settles into silence beneath the trees, wrapped in shadows, the scent of leaves, and the calm of nature.
This collection is woven from colours hidden among flower petals, lush grasses, herb gardens, velvety mosses, reflections on the water, and romantic corners you never want to leave. Each cake carries its own mood and its own story—sometimes delicate and pastel, sometimes deep and mysterious, and sometimes as vibrant as a garden bathed in midsummer sunshine.
Garden Stories was created for knitters and crocheters who love colours with soul—harmonious, unexpected, and full of emotion. Here you will find colourways inspired by lavender and sage, the tranquillity of a lakeside view, the softness of moss, romantic rose gardens, the warmth of coneflowers, and the joyful energy of colourful summer decorations. These are cakes that do more than create fabric—they set the mood of your project from the very first stitch.
Each Swing cake is made from a blend of 50% soft merino wool and 50% durable acrylic. The high-quality Italian yarn provides lightness, resilience, and exceptional comfort, making it perfect for projects you want to enjoy knitting slowly and then wear for years to come.
The Garden Stories collection is available in the Swing Classic base, with the option of adding an extra strand—either sparkle or matte. This allows you to give your project an even more personal touch: adding a subtle shimmer, elegant depth, softening the colours, highlighting selected tones, or creating a unique effect tailored to your vision.
Simply select the appropriate option when ordering and leave a note describing the colours and effect you would like to achieve. You can give us specific directions—such as subtle sparkle, muted matte tones, more greens, more pinks, a softer pastel mood, or a brighter, more colourful look—or you can leave the creative process entirely in our hands.
The smooth colour transitions work beautifully in shawls, wraps, sweaters, dresses, cardigans, tops, and countless other handmade projects. Garden Stories is perfect whenever you want your yarn cake to be more than just yarn—to become the beginning of a story you will wear, wrap yourself in, or gift to someone special.
Like all Liloppi Swing collections, Garden Stories was created from a love of colour, softness, and the knitting stories that begin with a single cake. Choose your garden, select your additional strand, and let Garden Stories guide your next project.
