Bouleau

Introducing Bouleau — named after the French word for birch and inspired by the tree’s iconic bark, this DK weight yarn captures the silver and brown tones of birchwood in winter. Its undyed base from Topsy Farms is blended with naturally dark Norbouillet wool from Pine Hollow Farm, resulting in a yarn full of depth and rustic charm.

Semi-worsted spun into a smooth 3-ply, Bouleau offers 117 metres (128 yards) per 55-gram skein. Its round, balanced structure provides excellent stitch definition — perfect for cables, clean stockinette, and texture-rich patterns.

This yarn is the result of our first test spin blending these two fibres at the mill — and like all good tests, it came with valuable insights for future improvements. While it’s a trial run, Bouleau remains a beautiful yarn with garment-worthy potential. Its pricing reflects its experimental nature, and we welcome your feedback to help shape the next iteration.
