Le Petit Lambswool is a beautiful wool prepared in the Scottish woolen tradition, then woolen spun and dyed in a family-owned Scottish fiber mill. Its composition is of 100% Lambswool, the first shearing of the sheep, an absolutely beautiful quality. It is completely natural with rustic charm while being very soft to knit with and wear. The yarn has also been scoured and steam damped to remove traces of spinning oil making it lofty and lovely.

About Biches et Bûches: When Astrid decided to create a knitting-kit shop, she set out to find a special yarn for her designs and to offer in her boutique. She was looking for a yarn with an authentic feel, slightly rustic, that would remind her of her trip to Norway in 1995, where she discovered the pure wool from Norwegian sheep. Something that echoed her Scandinavian roots: a yarn that could become fine, colorful sweaters that would stand the test of time, worn year after year. This yarn also needed to feel soft, delightful to knit with, and comfortable for everyday wear. It was in a family-owned mill in Scotland that she found the possibility to create the yarn that would become the signature of Biches & Bûches: Le Petit Lambswool. Today, we offer two additional thicknesses of this yarn: Le Lambswool and Le Gros Lambswool. A pure lambswool, sublime with its rustic charm, while being wonderfully soft and presented in beautifully natural colors.
