I am a sucker for yarn which resembles the homespun yarn of yesterday. That which ran through Grandmother's hands, as she turned string into woolen jumpers, keeping the family warm. So when I discovered this yarn, I knew I too needed to hold it in my hands, and knit.

Le Petit is created at a family-owned fiber mill in Scotland. Though rustic, the yarn is soft, and once knit, has an incredible bloom. The wool for the yarn is first dyed, and then carded and spun, therefore, the yarn is slightly heathered with tiny flickers of color, creating depth within the knitted fabric. The ball bands feature owner, Caroline's handwriting. Biches and Buches describes their yarn as "A beautiful quality, presented in a way that feels like home." Exactly.
