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. 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. for the heartful moments of going slow putting thoughts and feelings into a single stitch being part of making one's wardrobe and being part of something bigger Biches & Bûches are a Scandinavian family settled in France.Their all-natural wool comes from a family-owned fibre mill in Scotland.Astrid designs garments of wool with a deep love for sweaters and cozy shawls. Biches and Buches describes their yarn as "A beautiful quality, presented in a way that feels like home."We are in love with their gorgeous yarns and designs. Seriously can't get enough of their wonderful, homey pinterest board. *Please note that this pattern is not sent automatically.
