Take our Le Petit Lambswool, and add even more softness and warmth that is called cashmere and you get this squishy delight of a blending of Biches & Bûches Le Cashmere & Lambswool. All our colors have a degree of tweed in them, giving always a touch of variation and sometimes even small exciting speckles.
Le Cashmere & Lambswool is a beautiful quality, presented in a way that feels like home. Le Cashmere & Lambswool is the same weight as our Le Petit Lambswool so all patterns using Le Petit Lambswool can be used with this yarn quality.

Le Petit Lambswool is prepared with the special Scottish traditional savoir faire, by a family owned fiber mill in Scotland 🤎
Process
It is scoured and steam damped, so no traces of spinning oil and added loftiness. Our partner takes the wool through carefully selected processes where the wool becomes small yarn balls, and each ball band is added by hand to the yarn ball. We love a crafted and handmade look, which may include small traces of imperfections, which for us, are part of the charm of natural wool and of Biches & Bûches.
Colors
We love the color palette of our Le Petit Lambswool, very earthy and natural looking, which never cease to inspire us, and opens the words for so may ideas and creations. Le Petit Lambswool presents our widest range of colors, with 67 different shades, offering so much choice and variation for colorwork and for customising one's knit.
Each yarn ball is approx. 50g with approx. 248 meters/ 270 yards
