100% Portuguese wool yarn. Hand spun in Minho (Portugal) mostly from the wool of Bordaleira de Entre Douro e Minho sheep. For decades or even centuries, this yarn has been spun using the same methods and tools and used to weave mantas (blankets), both for family use and to be sold at the local market of Saint Michael (a fair which dates back to the medieval period and still takes place every year at the end of September). First it is carefully teased, as sheep collect all sorts of vegetable matter in their fleeces while grazing. It is then scoured and washed with soap in rain water, which is collected in large outdoors sinks. Women wait for a few days of warm weather so that the water reaches the right temperature. After drying the wool is teased again, and then carded with hand carders.

Bucos is spun using a distaff and a long wooden handheld spindle. Due to the artisanal nature of this product, unit weights are variable.

The shade Mescla is obtained by carding brown and white wool together.
