If you take this yarn in your hand, you will not want to let it go again: it is so smooth, so light, so supple …
The mere thought of wearing this wool directly on the skin makes you want to get started with your project right away!
After the shearing, the wool fibres are sorted, gently cleaned and carded.
We, at mon petit rouet, soak the yarn after spinning just in warm water (without additives) to fix the twist and to let the fibres relax and loosen up.
So that the yarn stays so wonderfully fluffy and voluminous, each skein is wrapped by hand – so that it can wait quite “relaxed” for its further transformation.
