These happy sheep pasture in the southeast of France with the best possible breeding practices.

All the manufacturing stages of this yarn are carried out in a short circuit (France and Portugal for sourcing, Belgium and Italy for washing, France for spinning and dyeing) with a constant desire for traceability and to reduce its impact on the environment. It is offered in natural colours resulting from the mixture of brown and white fleeces ("salt", "white pepper", "pepper and salt" and "pepper"), and in a range of subtly dyed colours.
