Mare

High summer, Sitges. The sea so blue it looks painted.

A cropped bolero with long sleeves to the wrist, the body ending just mid bust.
Pure turquoise — two merinos, one landscape, one sea. Hand crocheted by Mateo

Composition

63% Merino (Wooldreamers Dehesa de Barrera, Extremadura)
37% Hand-dyed Merino (Soc una Troca, Catalonia)

Mare is made entirely from Spanish merino, two yarns, totalling 395 grams and 3132 stithces.

250g — Wooldreamers, Sierra de San Pedro, Extremadura (turquoise)
Raised by the livestock farm of D. Antonio Egea Colás in the dehesa, a traditional open oak woodland landscape where sheep roam freely across vast terrain, season by season. The dehesa is one of Spain’s most biodiverse and ancient farming systems. OEKO-TEX 100 certified.

145g — Soc una Troca, Catalonia (blues with dots of dark blue and orange)
A 100% Spanish merino, spun in Catalonia, hand-dyed by Soc una Troca, an independent dyer based in Catalonia, in a combination of blues with flecks of dark blue and orange. Because it is hand-dyed, the variation across the skein is natural and unrepeatable. No two skeins are dyed exactly alike.
