Gilitrutt is spun from fleeces that Hélène personally hand-selects and grades one by one after the first shearing of the Icelandic lambs. The carefully crafted result is an Icelandic lambswool yarn of unparalleled softness and fineness.

Gilitrutt’s two plies give it strength while maintaining a surprisingly soft hand and beautiful halo. Despite its fineness, it has all of the lightness and warmth expected from Icelandic wool yarns. This versatile yarn can be knitted with a variety of needle sizes and makes deliciously light sweaters as well as scarfs and mittens and is even suited for baby garments.

Bourette silk is cruelty free! Silk yarn is made with the silk threads that come from silk worm cocoons. An intact silk worm cocoon is made of one single very long thread. In conventional silk production the cocoons are boiled, leaving the silk worms to die. Bourette silk, on the other hand, is made from the silk threads of naturally vacated cocoons – ones from which the silk worms have completed their natural metamorphosis into moths. During this incredible process, the cocoon breaks apart leaving the silk thread in pieces. These short silk fibers are painstakingly collected and spun into yarn. Creating bourette silk is a very time consuming process resulting in a more rustic, but no less luxurious strand of yarn.
