Mirefleurs, our new hand-dyed yarns in Auvergne
The series of hand-dyed wools “Mirefleurs” has just been launched!
Handmade, produced and dyed with French wool yarns by “Porcs-épics Tricoteur” even in Mirefleurs, in a pretty village nestled in the Chaîne des Puys d’Auvergne (UNESCO World Heritage volcanoes park). in France.
These wools are dyed with non-corrosive acid.
The only acid involved is white vinegar or citric acid: protein fibers need a little acid in the dye bath to fix the colours.
We currently have two types of yarns:
Mirefleurs – Fingerling
ultra-fine merino, made of 3 strands, ideal for a wide range of fine knits such as socks, shawls, sweaters etc.
100% baby merino wool, superwash
100g / 400m
2.0-3.0 mm (needles)
Hand or machine wash at a maximum temperature of 30°C
Iron at a maximum temperature of 110°C
We also offer skeins in 25g in solid colours.
Mirefleurs – Bulky
Composed of a blend of 70% wool and 30% Baby Alpaga fibers, formed by 3 strands twisted, ideal for making thick tops or accessories that keep warm. Allows you to knit fairly quickly.
70% merinos and 30% baby alpaca
100g/100m
7,0-8,0 mm (needles)
Hand wash at a maximum temperature of 30°C
Iron at a maximum temperature of 110°C
Working on our own colours allows us to strengthen and control our own universe even more.
This season, we dyed “Mirefleurs Bulky” to make the sweater “Jeu de Billes” presented in “The picture book on exciting wools in the world”, published in Japan in November 2021.
And dyed “Mirefleurs Fingerling” for the sweater “Kakashi (scarecrow)“, cuff-to-cuff & top down.
Try knitting our universes, with our yarns and patterns☺️!
