Le Petit Lambswool

Le Petit Lambswool is part of the little woolen family of Le Petit Lambswool, Le Lambswool, Le Gros Lambswool, and was the beginning of Biches & Bûches, being their first wool and how it all started. The three are the same wool, just of different thread sizes. Calico and Ivy is so excited to stock this variant (Le Petit) and will be adding to the family in 2024.

Le Petit Lambswool is a beautiful wool, prepared with the special Scottish traditional savoir faire, spun and dyed in a family-owned fiber mill in Scotland.

Its composition is of 100% Lambswool, the first cut of Merino Sheep, an absolutely beautiful quality.

It is completely natural (0% synthetic), with its rustic charm all the while being very soft to knit with and wear. It has also been scoured and steam damped, so no traces of spinning oil and added loftiness.

The ball bands are designed with Caroline's handwriting (except for a few parts urgently added) and printed in the surroundings of our partner taking a lot of care of the part of the process where the wool becomes small yarn balls, and each label manually added to each yarn ball.

We love a crafted and handmade look, which always leave small traces of imperfections, which for us, are part of the charm of natural wool and of Biches & Bûches.

We love the color palette of our Lambswool collection, very earthy and natural looking, which never cease to inspire us, and opens the words for so many ideas and creations.
