Your words

"This wool is the perfect combination of rustic, soft, and lightweight, and it’s a dream to use for strand-knitting."

- Caitlin Hunter @Boylandknitworks

"The myriad of beautiful and gentle colors of Le Petit Lambswool has truly captivated me. The texture, offering a connection to nature, and its delightful softness after a wet blocking are details I hold dear. These elements played a pivotal role in inspiring my latest creations, the Amikomi Yoke Sweater & Cardigan."

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 offer in the little Biches & Bûches shop to be. She was looking for something that felt authentic with a slight rustic touch, that would remind 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 one would want to wear daily. It was in Scotland, in a family owned fiber mill that she found the possibility to make the yarn she was looking for, which would become the signature wool of Biches & Bûches: Le Petit Lambswool, which became the heart of our yarn collection and designs. It has this rustic charm all the while being very soft to knit with and wear, we hope that you will like it as much as we do.

100% Lambswool (First shearing, the finest qualities)

ORIGIN OF THE WOOL

Le Petit Lambswool is prepared with the special Scottish traditional savoir faire, by a family owned fiber mill in Scotland 🤎

It is washed and steamed to remove all traces of spinning oil and to add an incredible lightness to the wool. Our partner puts the wool through carefully selected processes, and is finally transformed into small 50g yarn balls ready to be knit with, the labels added by hand as the finishing touch. We love the artisanal and handmade aspect, which can include small signs of imperfections, as these are part of the charm of natural wool and Biches & Bûches.
