RESTOCKED: BICHES + BÛCHES

Nine gorgeous new colors of Biches + Bûches Le Petit Lambswool have just landed in the shop, making now a great time to get your color fix!

Le Petit Lambswool is a fingering weight yarn spun from the first wool sheared from young sheep raised in Scotland. It's whisper soft and combines a rustic, classic look with a sublimely squishy feel.

And while Le Petit Lambswool knits into a gorgeous fabric all by itself, it also works up beautifully when knit companion style in combination with Le Petit Silk & Mohair. This fluffy laceweight is a blend of 70% mohair and 30% silk. Ooh-la-la!

Keep reading for some engaging pattern suggestions in solo and tandem yarn combos!

MIX, MATCH + MARL

Since there aren't new Le Petit Silk & Mohair shades to match the brand new Lambswool colors, we've looked to Rowan Kidsilk Haze and Loop Posy as well for fraternal shades in mohair + silk.

Here are just a few of our recommendations!

Left to right: smoke + dark rose grey, nude pink + light peach, beige + medium peach

Left to right: grey brown + soft gold, aura + soft green grey, evergreen + soft green
