Le Gros Lambswool is part of the little woolen family of Le Petit Lambswool, Le Lambswool, Le Gros Lambswool. The three are the same wool, just of different thread sizes, for different projects!
Le Gros 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 the sheep, an absolutely beautiful quality.
The strands of LE GROS LAMBSWOOL are soft and spongy in a beautiful quality, presented in a way that feels like home.
When starting to think about a woolen company, Astrid (of Biches & Bûches) was in search of the yarn she wanted to knit her designs with and to offer in her boutique. She was looking for something rustic, that reminded 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 of course, that felt good wearing too. She found the wool that she was looking for in Scotland and it has become the heart of her yarn collection and designs.

Hand washing is recommended, with wool specific soap. Lay flat to dry.
For machine washing, we recommend that all wool garments be washed separately on a wool program, to ensure the gentlest treatment. Centrifuge well and dry the garment flat, preferably on top of a towel. Never use a laundry bag when washing hand-knitted wool garments. This creates friction that can cause the garment to felt.
