Le Cashmere & Lambswool

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.
