It's inspired by one of the many cartoon murals in Angoul\u00eame. It was hand-dyed by sprinkling dye powder directly onto the beautiful, creamy bare wool. My 100% BFL DK Wool, 'Angoul\u00eame', is a sumptuous, smooth, soft, yet strong wool, with natural water resistance. It's therefore great for larger garments and knits up beautifully for shawls, socks, hats, cowls, and mittens.\r\n\r\nEven my repeatable colourways are hand-dyed in small batches of 5 skeins because of my fastidious quality control methods. I put only one batch into the shop at a time, so please make sure you buy enough yarn to complete your intended project.\r\nAll of my BFL is from small, well-managed British farms. These farms adhere to high animal welfare standards. The wool is spun in British mills.\r\n
Your happiness is a priority for me<\/strong><\/h3>\r\nI do my utmost to take photographs which represent colours as closely as possible to the actual yarn colour in the listings, but please consider that your PC monitors and your device screens may show colours slightly differently. I want you to be happy with your yarn!\r\n\r\nAs a Knitter, I know what I want from a hand-dyed skein of yarn, so every skein is hand-dyed; carefully rinsed until the water runs clear; washed in gentle wool soap; rinsed again, then dried in the French sunshine. Customers tell me that my wool and wool blends are 'softer than soft'!\r\n\r\nI hate tangles in a skein of yarn, so I look at every skein and re-skein if I think it\u2019s necessary. I also clearly mark the ends of the yarn with a stitch-marker so you won\u2019t have to hunt for them when you wind your yarn. By the way, wool and wool blends are best left in their skeins until you are ready to use them.\r\n\r\nAlthough this 100% BFL DK Wool 'Angoul\u00eame' is Super-wash treated, please remember that wool is naturally resistant to light soiling, sweat and skin oils. Hanging your garment in the open air occasionally is usually enough to keep it clean and fresh.\r\nYou can machine wash on the wool cycle at 30 degrees, but for your most precious garments I recommend hand washing in tepid water and a gentle soap to keep the colours looking their best for the life of the garment. Dry flat in the shade.\r\n
Sustainability<\/strong><\/h3>\r\nI aim to take care of our little planet in everything I do and my practice in Mille R\u00eaves en Laine is no exception.\r\n\r\nI buy most of my undyed yarn from one large supplier. I also buy French wool from a group of local French farmers who work together to produce wool for hand-dyers.\r\n\r\nMy hand-dyeing process involves a lot of thought about the amount of water I use, so I rinse the yarn in a series of bowls of water, rather than water running over the yarn from an open tap.\r\n\r\nAll the water I use is re-cycled to water the garden.\r\n\r\nI use the most eco-friendly professional-grade dyes I can find.\r\n\r\nOnly food-grade citric acid or white vinegar is used to fix the dye to the yarn. Both are safe enough to use in my garden water.\r\n\r\nMy home studio here in France is never heated - I wrap up warmly on any cold days!\r\n\r\nThe boxes you receive your purchases in are all made from recycled materials and can be recycled.","_et_gb_content_width":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[835,1264],"product_tag":[992,106,293,107,145,980,1146,1151,978,625,190,1152,495,141,1157,534,139,1035,229,839,895,325,168,904,862,1028,960,860,982,1190,1189,230],"class_list":["post-40649","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-dk","product_cat-variegated","product_tag-angouleme","product_tag-bfl","product_tag-bfl-wool","product_tag-bluefaced-leicester","product_tag-british-bluefaced-leicester","product_tag-cadeau-danniversaire-pour-tricoteuse","product_tag-cadeau-de-noel","product_tag-cadeau-de-noel-pour-tricoteuse","product_tag-cadeau-pour-tricoteuse","product_tag-charente","product_tag-christmas-gift-for-knitter","product_tag-colourful-wool","product_tag-colourful-yarn","product_tag-dk","product_tag-dk-bfl","product_tag-dk-wool","product_tag-double-knit","product_tag-gift","product_tag-gift-for-knitter","product_tag-hand-dyed","product_tag-hand-dyed-in-france","product_tag-hand-dyed-wool","product_tag-hand-dyed-yarn","product_tag-knitting-in-france","product_tag-laine-teinte-a-la-main","product_tag-laine-teintee-a-la-main-en-france","product_tag-teintee-a-la-main-en-france","product_tag-tricot","product_tag-tricot-en-france","product_tag-variagated-wool","product_tag-wes-anderson","product_tag-wool","first","instock","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
