Description
The RUSTIQUE family of yarns is based on a first strand of carded yarn made from 100% French sheep wool (mainly Limousin and Texel breeds), bred in the regions of Limousin and in the Massif Central.
This nervous fibre gives the yarns of the RUSTIQUE family a swelling and elastic side typical of a carded yarn. Wools from France have excellent crimp, hence their use, in general, for mattresses (natural spring), for carpets (excellent resistance to crushing) and for clothing (swelling and resistant works).
RUSTIQUE 4 is a soft and strong yarn made up of 4 strands, combined with a medium twist, and is knitted with # 4 to 4.5 needles. Naturally ecru, having undergone no treatment but a final degreasing bath, RUSTIQUE 4 is well suited for vegetal dyes. It is washed by hand, if possible with organic natural soap, without spinning. It is also recommended to dry flat. The RUSTIQUE family is available in RUSTIQUE 2, RUSTIQUE 3, RUSTIQUE 4, RUSTIQUE 6.
RUSTIQUE 4 is also available as 100g undyed, untreated, not degreased, ready-to-dye skeins within the yarn quality RUSTIQUE 4 prêt-à-teindre.
