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.

There are so many wonderful patterns that Le Petit Lambswool would be well paired with. A couple of our current favorites include:
I originally chose this yarn because it was used in a pattern I was planning to knit and because I liked the colors. I had assumed it would feel like a Shetland wool—nice but itchy. I was surprised, however, to find that after a wet block the yarn was soft enough that the cowl I’d made with it wasn’t itchy at all. I’m delighted with it and have chosen the yarn again several times.
