The Sow's Ear + DHG Lucé

Luce is a yarn with a distinctive character, designed for those who wish to add a touch of brilliance and sophistication to their textile creations. Its bright aesthetic and soft hand make it ideal for decorative projects and accessories with a strong visual impact. Thanks to its composition and structure, this yarn lends itself to both traditional and experimental creative work, offering a balance between lightness, texture and aesthetic performance. It is particularly appreciated for realizations that require a luminous and textural effect while maintaining good workability.

Luce is produced in Prato using a very special craft technique and combines our Piuma yarn and a precious lamé yarn. The result is a soft, fluffy, warm yarn, but with an extra edge: a metallic glow that contrasts with the hairiness of the wool for a style that is both minimal and luxurious.
The raw material comes from selected farms in South America, particularly Argentina, Uruguay and Chile: regions with a long tradition in sheep breeding and high quality standards in textile fiber production.
From raw fiber to finished yarn, the entire processing takes place in Italy: a short, controlled supply chain that combines the quality of South American raw material with Tuscan craftsmanship.
