In the world of natural fibers, each skein is the result of a fascinating and traditional journey. From wool to cashmere, including angora and soft mohair, quality skeins are born through the art and skill of expert hands. In this article, we explore the production process that transforms natural raw materials into precious skeins, a story that reveals the behind-the-scenes of what you find on biellese.com.
Choosing the fibers: the heart of the process
The quality of a skein depends largely on the fibers used. We focus exclusively on natural fibers: wool, silk, cashmere, alpaca, and mohair. Each fiber has its own unique characteristics. Wool, for example, is appreciated for its versatility and warmth; silk adds an unmatched luster; cashmere is synonymous with luxury and softness.
Collection and selection
The process begins with the collection of fibers. For cashmere, for example, it is gently combed from goats in spring, while wool is shorn from sheep as temperatures warm. This crucial moment requires precision to ensure the quality of the material collected.
Processing and spinning
Once the best fibers are selected, the process moves to the production phase. Here, each fiber is cleaned and carded to remove impurities and prepare it for spinning. This is a process that requires not only skill but also a deep respect for the natural rhythm of each fiber.
Spinning and dyeing
Spinning is an art where the fiber is transformed into a continuous and uniform thread. The use of innovative equipment alongside traditional techniques ensures impeccable control over the tension and consistency of the yarn. Once spun, the yarn can be dyed using natural dyes that respect the environment and enhance its beauty.
The birth of the skein
After dyeing, the yarns are wound into perfect skeins ready to be sold and used. Each skein tells a story of creativity and passion, ready to be transformed into handmade works of art.
