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.
