Title

Brusca é um fio breed specific exclusivo da Retrosaria. É composto por 50% de lã Saloia e 50% de lã Merino Branco e Merino Preto. É um fio rústico mas de toque bastante suave, indicado por exemplo para camisolas tanto de criança como de adulto. A sua paleta e textura fazem dele uma excelente escolha para trabalhos em jacquard.

Documentada desde o século XIX, a raça Saloia (Bordaleira Saloia), característica das regiões de Lisboa e Setúbal, é desde sempre apreciada não só pela qualidade do seu leite, matéria-prima tradicional do famoso Queijo de Azeitão, mas também pela sua excelente lã fina, frisada e particularmente rica em lanolina. O nome Brusca, designação popular e antiga da raça que significa escura, deriva da cor acinzentada que o velo da ovelha saloia ostenta e certamente também da característica pigmentação castanha do seu focinho e patas. 

A proveniência e qualidade da lã usada neste fio foi verificada pelas respectivas associações de produtores: ACRO (Associação dos Criadores e Reprodutores de Gado do Oeste) e ANCORME (Associação Nacional de Criadores de Ovinos de Raça Merina).

Este fio foi inteiramente produzido em Portugal.

English:

Brusca is a breed and flock specific yarn. It is made of 50% Saloia and 50% Merino Branco and Merino Preto wool.

Saloia is the native sheep breed to the region of Lisbon and Setúbal. It is well documented since the 19th century as its wool was one of the finest available in the country. Saloia sheep have also become famous for their milk, from which the famous Azeitão cheese was traditionally made.

Brusca is made from the wool of free range sheep. Mulesing is not practised in Portugal.

Grown, scoured, milled and dyed in Portugal.

Shades A, B, C and BC are natural (not dyed). Like all our yarns, Brusca is non-superwash and not bleached.
