Biches & Bûches - Le Petit Lambswool
Le Petit Lambswool from Biches et Buches is a pure lambswool from a family-owned mill in Scotland.
The wool is rustic and soft at the same time, available in 45 shades at Loop!
Biches et Buches are in the process of changing their packaging, so some colours might arrive as either skeins or balls, but rest assured they are the same yarn.
The thread is thin and sturdy, the wool is fully scoured, the bands are handwritten by Caroline.
A beautiful quality, presented in a way that feels like home.
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 shop. She was looking for something rustic, that reminded her of a trip to Norway in 1995, discovering the pure wool from their Norwegian sheep, as well as her Scandinavian roots, a yarn that would make a sturdy sweater, to be worn through the years. That rustic yarn would have to be blended with a soft feeling, that felt good knitting with, and of course, that felt good wearing.
PLEASE NOTE; This yarn now comes in an easy to use ball instead of a skein as pictured. We will update the photos as soon as possible.
