【Wire introduction】
Soil Yarn is the successor of Raincloud & Sage, and Ruth, the manager of R&S, ended the operation of the brand due to career planning, while Marten, a comrade-in-arms who started the business with her, continued his fantasy journey of yarn and took over the cables that were originally bred and developed together.
Unpun Yarn is a new type of yarn launched by Ruth and Marten in the spring of 2022, Soil Yarn inherits the original two non-dyeing series, with different proportions of sheep breed coat color mixed with one dark and one light Stormy Night (stormy night) dark gray black and Dawn (dawn) light gray white.
Unspun這種未被撚實的線材，是羊毛纖維經梳理後，被撚成線之前的預備紗，近似羊毛條的狀態，如雲霧般可愛。
Although it is not as tough as the solid yarn, because it retains the original appearance of wool and is rich in a lot of air, the finished fabric is very light and soft, with a deep and light color mixture, which is very beautiful!
This kind of non-pruning wire has a high degree of challenge in single-strand weaving, and it is easy to break the thread with excessive force, but it does not need to be knotted, and the overlapping parts of the thread head can be directly docked to be braided again.
In addition to increasing the toughness of the wire, the fabric is still very fluffy and light, and the texture completely retains the simplicity and wool flavor of the wool, which is very warm, and when weaving, the smooth mutton fat is like a natural hand cream, which feels very warm!
* Soil Yarn's Unspun Yarn is almost the same as the original Raincloud & Sage, but the color of each batch of wool may vary slightly due to climate or growth, so please purchase the required amount at one time.

【Brand Story】
Soil Yarn is the successor of Raincloud & Sage, who has spent many yarn journeys with Kojima, and Ruth, the owner of R&S, ended the operation of the brand due to career planning, while Marten, a comrade-in-arms who started the business with her, continued his yarn fantasy journey and took over the yarns that were originally conceived and developed together.
Soil Yarn inherits the concept of R&S, adheres to the ultra-small personal brand of local production, community cooperation and original natural wool wire production, and respects everyone involved in the production process with environmentally friendly sustainable production methods such as non-ultra-washable, nylon-free, biodegradable, etc., and the original appearance of wool exuded by its yarn is deeply attractive to us.
At present, the scale of Soil Yarn is very small, and it is slowly recovering, and we will continue to develop more different and beautiful wires in the future!
