Samiel
Price range: 16,00 € through 28,50 €
Rustic and Wild
A nuanced, almost mottled yarn, quite rustic and country-like, with its long linen strands and subtle sheen. It is made from a blend of three natural fibers: 50% virgin wool from Peru, 25% flax from South America, and 25% Tussah silk from China. The wool adds warmth, elasticity, and loft to the yarn, making it ideal for a wide variety of projects. The linen gives it a slightly irregular, raw texture and an elegant drape, while adding strength and temperature-regulating properties, making the yarn comfortable to wear in all seasons. Raw silk adds a subtle shine, extra softness, and a beautiful fluidity to knitted, crocheted, or woven fabrics.
This blend, with its very natural appearance, offers a good balance between warmth, breathability, and softness, making Samiel a comfortable yarn with excellent versatility. It will be ideal for a wide range of craft projects, from lightweight garments like mid-season sweaters or shawls, to accessories and even some decorative items. Boho throws and cushions, bags, bohemian boleros with decorative or openwork stitches, vests and cardigans of all lengths, lightweight summer sweaters, crop top vests, lightweight openwork blouses... enough to let your imagination run wild!

What is a Fingering / Sock type yarn?
A great classic in the world of knitting for delicate style creations. Perfect for a large number of projects, fingering is suitable for light and fine sweaters, vests and shawls as well as for baby clothes and accessories. Neither too thick nor too warm, it has a perfect finish for textures. The skeins are between 350 and 400m for 100g. The yarn is fine and can be knitted with 2.25mm to 3.25mm needles or 2.25mm to 3.5mm hooks. This is the ideal yarn weight for making socks and mittens. If you are looking for a "sock yarn", choose one that contains ramie (replaces nylon) to reinforce its strength, especially at the heels and toes.
Maintenance tips
To care for naturally dyed fibers:
– Wash and rinse your item carefully by hand, separately, in water at 30°C maximum.
– Use an organic vegetable soap or a mild natural detergent, neutral pH. A few drops of organic baby shampoo without soap will also take care of the wool and the color.
The use of soap or detergent with a pH that is too high, vinegar, baking soda, etc. is to be avoided, as this would permanently affect the color.
– Do not wring. Dry flat (to avoid deforming your work) away from direct sunlight.
We recommend using Eucalan detergent available in our shop, haberdashery section.
Informations
Bath
We dye small quantities of yarn at a time. All skeins sold under the same reference come from the same batch. As this is an artisanal work, there may however be slight variations in shades between these skeins.
Each batch is unique, it is impossible to obtain exactly the same shade from one batch to another. Remember to alternate the skeins in your projects and make sure to order enough yarn for your project.
Don't worry
Despite numerous rinses and careful washing in the workshop, some colors (especially the most intense ones) may still slightly stain your hands when making your work or color the water when you care for it. This is simply excess dye, the final result will not be affected. There may also sometimes be a little plant powder stuck to the fibers that will come off on its own.
Colors, photographs and screens
Particular care is taken in the production of photographs to be as close as possible to real colors. But natural colors have rich and subtle tones that computer screens (computers, tablets, smartphones) cannot reproduce. The perception of colors can therefore vary depending on the screen, sometimes creating a slight discrepancy with the real color of the object.
