This yarn comes from a little farm located on Reggio Emilia hills, a town in the north of Italy.
The breed is mixed with the Lacaune race that comes from France and it's a merinos wool.
The sheep are shorn once a year, in spring, and kept in the barn, at warm, during the winter season.

The wool is washed and spun without additives or chemicals and preserves all the natural qualities of lanolin and keratin
Thats why, you will find a little bit of hay in the fibre (witch you can easily remove) and will feel a little (very little) sticky on your hand when you knit it. The stickiness is the lanolin and it's so good for your skin and your hand joints!!
