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 to offer in our boutique. She was looking for something rustic, 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 and it has become the heart of our yarn collection and designs.

We hope that you will like it as much as we do.

The yarn is pure and natural

What is lambswool exactly? It is actually the first shearing of a sheep, considered to be the high-grade of wool.
