Biches & Bûches Le Petit Lambswool

Biches & Bûches Le Petit Lambswool is a soft, pure lambswool yarn which comes from a family-owned fiber mill in Scotland. It is both rustic and soft, thin and sturdy. Ball bands are a handwritten design by Caroline of Biches & Bûches which gives each skein a personal touch.  What is lambswool? It's the first shearing of a sheep, considered to be a high-grade of wool. It is considered the softest wool that will ever come off the sheep and is less likely to cause skin irritation.  100% lambswool LENGTH: ~270 yards (248 meters) / 50g ball Skein: 50g Weight: 4ply/fingering Pure Lambswool from Scotland, from a family-owned fiber mill Handwash & Dry Flat Recommended Needle Size: US2.5 - US4 Knit alone for a soft but still rustic woolly item or knit one strand of Le Petit Lambswool 4-ply with a strand of Le Petit Silk & Mohair for an even softer item with a lovely halo.  There are so many wonderful patterns that Le Petit Lambswool would be well paired with.
