Sheep colors
Handwoven scarf made from pure, undyed wool sourced from French flocks. The natural wool varies across the width and length of the scarf, forming brown, grey, and white rectangles.
The wool comes from Arles merino sheep and pre-alpine breeds from southern France. It is carded and spun at the Valgaudemar spinning mill in Saint-Firmin, in the Hautes-Alpes, before being handwoven on a barge using a Louet loom.
The wool is of the highest quality, selected and processed with the utmost care at every stage. The weave uses a 2/2, 4-ply twill pattern. Twill is one of the most fundamental types of weaving, recognizable by its diagonal parallel ribs. The word, originating in Scotland in the early 14th century, was a variant of Middle English twile (Old English twili, Latin bilix), meaning "woven with two threads," although modern twills can be made with any number of threads. The earliest uses of this pattern date back to southwestern Siberia and Central Asia, around 1800-1000 BC, on pottery. The earliest twill fabric was found on a riding garment dating from 1200-1000 BC in Yanghai, in the Turpan Oasis of northwest China.
Lightweight and durable, this scarf folds into a small roll. The wool is soft and pleasant to the touch, without being silky or fuzzy. It's a robust and hard-wearing rustic fabric, ideal for lasting a lifetime.
Wear your own souvenir of the French countryside with pride.
