Zebra and creative
This 100% French wool comes from Auvergne breed fleeces: the Noire du Velay and the Bizet sheep, naturally brown-black and beige. It is the big sister of Matinière. Composed of 6 strands, this two-tone yarn is obtained by twisting together, at a medium tension, 3 threads of each breed. This nervous fiber provides a puffy and elastic side typical of a carded yarn. In the tradition of local wools, this yarn is simple, resistant and warm, with a touch of originality. Its texture with a dry and rustic touch recalls the wools of yesteryear. For knitted, crocheted, woven creations... with a touch of authenticity. This yarn is suitable for all types of projects requiring thickness: Vests, cardigans, sweaters, hats, snoods. It will also be very popular for making sustainable projects for the home such as cushion covers, a bedspread or a throw.
The short-circuit processing stages of the raw material, from the sheep to the finished products, are carried out in France (breeding, shearing, washing and spinning), before being dyed in our Normandy pots. A whole network of partners is therefore mobilized, paying particular attention to the origin, quality and traceability of the product.

What is bulky/chunky yarn?
This type of wool is one of the big yarns, thick and voluminous. It is recommended for quickly making small warm accessories such as a cuddly hat, large snood, enormous scarf, mittens, cape, shoulder warmers... or a cozy winter jacket. It is also popular for making decorative accessories for the home such as cushions and throws. Wool to knit with needles of 5.5mm to 8mm or to crochet with hooks of 6.5mm to 9mm. A skein contains approximately 100 to 150m per 100g.
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.
