The Brand

We've created kits for this stunning newest pattern by the amazing Andrea Mowry, aka @dreareneeknits.

Zig is a comfy sweater, worked from the bottom up, with chevron colourwork and drop shoulders. We have kits in the original colourway, and some other alternatives we love!

Andrea has used Biches & Bûches Le Lambswool for her design. We have used Le Petit Lambswool held double - the rustic and lofty fingering weight is wonderful for colourwork, blocks beautifully and comes in a stunning, and much wider range of colours than Le Lambswool.

Your Kit Includes:
• YARN: Biches & Bûches Le Petit Lambswool, 100% Lambswool
271 yards 248 m, 50g per skein to be held double throughout.

the little story: when starting to think about a woollen 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.
