Le Petit Lambswool
Biches & Bûches' iconic Le Petit Lambswool is a 100% lambswool yarn milled in Scotland. It has incredible softness and loft, and comes in a myriad of beautiful colours.
Lambswool is a very first shearing of wool from a new lamb, meaning it's the softest cut you can get from a sheep. It's a lovely option if you want a rustic look but a softer feel.

HOW IT'S MADE
Biches & Bûches' Lambswool yarns come from the first shearing of young sheep, from family farms all around Scotland and England. The yarns are spun and dyed in Scotland, in a mill with long-standing traditional expertise. They are washed and steam-damped to remove all traces of spinning oil and to add an incredible lightness to the wool. You can find out more about Biches & Bûches here.

Le Petit Lambswool is a beautiful choice for everything from garments to accessories, but it's especially great for colourwork and textured stitches because of it's toothiness and loft!
