Sol is made from two yarns, totaling 354 grams and 4515 stitches.

200g — Wooldreamers, natural colour: 50% Alpaca + 50% Merino
Left undyed, this yarn carries the warm, natural tones of both fibres. The alpaca comes from Alpacas del Miera in Navajeda, Cantabria, OEKO-TEX 100 certified. The merino comes from the Dehesa de Barrera in the Sierra de San Pedro, Extremadura, raised by the livestock farm of D. Antonio Egea Colás — open oak woodland, free-grazing sheep, also OEKO-TEX 100 certified.

154g — El Robledal de la Santa, yellow gold: 50% Mohair + 40% White Merino + 10% Black Merino
This is the yarn that gives Sol its golden-yellow warmth. The mohair comes from the angora goats of El Robledal de la Santa, a small farm in Santa María de las Lomas, Cáceres, run by David and Jackson, who care for around 30 goats by hand — among them Charlotte, Columba, Colette, Geraldine, Harriet, Valerie, Betty, Dylan, Meghan, Chloe, Grace, Pembroke, Ernest, Diana, Katya, Amanda, Stewart, Connor, Gilberta, Marlene, Miss Vanjie, Rosemary, Thurston and Frederick. The white and black merino come from Ganadería La Huertona in León — the same flock that runs through several pieces in this collection. Both flocks are raised under extensive, biodiversity-friendly farming systems that prioritise animal welfare.
