The Brand

We absolutely adore this new lustrous, warm yarn by biches & bûches! The colour range is divine!

The finest blend of 28% silk and 72% kid mohair from Italy feels so luxurious and homey-comfy all at the same time.

It's an absolute pleasure to work it, and is perfect knit up on its own, or held together with another yarn. Lustrous, super soft and a gorgeous mohair-halo - we haven't seen anything else like it.

As charming as ever, all the ball bands are handwritten by Caroline.

If you're wondering what you could make with this lovely yarn, here's some inspiration.

the little story: when starting to think about a woolen company, Astrid was in search of the yarn she wanted to knit her designs with and offer in the shop.

She was looking for something rustic, that reminded her of a trip to Norway in 1995, discovering the pure wool from their Norwegian sheep, as well as her Scandinavian roots, a yarn that would make a sturdy sweater, to be worn through 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.
for the heartful moments of going slow putting thoughts and feelings into a single stitch being part of making one's wardrobe and being part of something bigger
Biches & Bûches are a Scandinavian family settled in France.

Their all-natural wool comes from a family-owned fibre mill in Scotland.

Astrid designs garments of wool with a deep love for sweaters and cozy shawls. Biches and Buches describes their yarn as "A beautiful quality, presented in a way that feels like home."

We are in love with their gorgeous yarns and designs. Seriously can't get enough of their wonderful, homey pinterest board.
