When starting to think about a woolen company, Astrid from Biches & Bûches was in search of the yarn she wanted to knit her designs with and offer in a little shop. She was looking for something that felt authentic with a slight rustic touch, that would remind 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 one would want to wear daily. It was in Scotland, in a family owned fiber mill that she found the possibility to make the yarn she was looking for, which would become the signature wool of Biches & Bûches: Le Petit Lambswool.
It has a rustic charm all the while being very soft to knit with and wear.
Le Petit Lambswool has a wide ranging palette of natural colours and hues that inspire and allow for a variety of creations and beautiful colour work and jacquard choices.
