Hand-spun wool by Le Mouton Polaire
An extraordinary wool, hand-spun and produced in Quebec
One of the House's "Treasures"!
When Marc-André came into the shop with a small selection of his wool, the whole team turned into children on a Christmas morning!
Each skein comes from the sheep of their sheepfold, "Le Mouton Polaire," in Témiscamingue. Marc-André lovingly cares for his flock, shearing and helping with the calving of each of his ewes. Edith, his partner, spins the wool into skeins, each one unique.
Unique and rare treasures from a passionate couple...
As Mathilde from our team said (after taking 5 skeins!) "I'm dying inside, it's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen."
Their Shetland wool is very soft and will make warm and lightweight accessories.
Their Scottish BlackFace (SBF) and Icelandic wools are more rustic but perfect for warm and durable knits.
/!\ Each skein is unique in shade and weight.
