- WORSTED -
RAW WORSTED SPECIAL
The name does not deceive: coarse, rustic, authentic, and even has bits of branches and weeds!
Why yes, because it's true.
Some of you may wonder why such a coarse yarn… Well, I have a certain weakness for yarns with these characteristics. This was the wool that was formerly used for everyday clothing, and for the humblest people it was the only wool they could aspire to. It is a very resistant yarn, you don't have to worry about "treating it well" and it will hardly pill.
And what are you going to be able to use it for? Well, for a good jacket, for mittens, for blankets, and for everything with which you would not use a delicate wool. Of course, do not knit a hat or a shawl. You've been warned.

- 100 gr skeins
- Weight: worsted

ONDINE
Ondines are mythical water creatures. The shine of the silk makes me think of my childhood by the lake, fascinated with legends and literature.
This is the loveliest yarn you’ll ever find. Being single ply, its fiber content makes it hard wearing but at the same time has an amazing feel. Lightness, shine, softness… You will not want to stop knitting with it!
