Le Lambswool is part of our Lambswool family, together with Le Petit Lambswool (Fingering) and Le Gros Lambswool (Aran) - and sits beautifully in between in terms of thickness. It is created and produced in the same Scottish mill, using traditional techniques and craftsmanship. These natural wools and carefully chosen processes result in a fabulous and timeless yarn. It is incredibly light, with a warm softness, while keeping a slightly rustic character thanks to its dry wool feel, which allows the knit to hold its structure and beautiful stitch definition over time. A sweater knitted with Le Lambswool will feel wonderfully light to wear and keep you warm in comfort.

Classified as a DK (double knit) weight, it is woollen spun, giving it a lofty, airy texture and natural warmth. It has a soft and authentic expression.

We recommend knitting it with 3.5 mm to 4.5 mm needles, depending on the desired result. Le Lambswool is perfect for sweaters, cardigans, and accessories.

The Le Lambswool palette now offers 33 beautiful colours. We started with a range of Neutrals and warm Neutrals for a minimalistic and timeless style, and little by little we are expanding the palette with brighter and colorful nuances.

The little story

When starting to think about a woolen company, Astrid was in search of the yarn she wanted to knit her designs with and to offer in our boutique. She was looking for dry wool for a slightly rustic touch, that reminded her of her trip to Norway in 1995 when she re-discovered the pure wool from the Norwegian sheep, as well as her Scandinavian roots. A yarn that would make a sturdy sweater, to be worn throughout the years. And that rustic yarn would have to be blended with a soft feeling, that felt good knitting with, and of course, that felt good wearing too. She found the wool that she was looking for in Scotland from a fiber mill, for a line of incredible lambswool yarn (first shearings) with the iconic heathered color palette you know at Biches & Bûches - and it has become the heart of our yarn collection and designs.

We hope that you will love it as much as we do!
