More colours are coming soon! Le Lambswool is the worsted weight lambswool from Biches & Bûches. It is created and produced in the same Scottish mill, using traditional techniques and craftsmanship as the Le Petit Lambswool fingering weight. These natural wools and carefully chosen processes result in a fabulous and timeless yarn. It is incredibly light, with a warm softness, while keeping a slightly rustic character thanks to its dry wool feel, which allows the knit to hold its structure and beautiful stitch definition over time. A sweater knitted with Le Lambswool will feel wonderfully light to wear and keep you warm in comfort.Classified as a DK (double knit) weight, it is woollen spun, giving it a lofty, airy texture and natural warmth. It has a soft and authentic expression. We recommend knitting it with 3.5 mm to 4.5 mm needles, depending on the desired result. Le Lambswool is perfect for sweaters, cardigans, and accessories. 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.
