Fonty 1880 100% local and traceable wool, Île-de-France) (50g /125m)
 
1880 is an  honest, local, traceable and ethical  yarn, made entirely from wool from  sheep farms of Ile-de-France. These  farms are located around the Fonty  spinning mill, with which a fair  trading system has been set up. After  shearing and collecting the furs,  the wool is washed in the Haute-Loire  and then pre-combed in the north  (in the last two washing and combing  factories that are still active  in France). The entire processing  process takes place close to the  spinning mill.
Fonty 1880 is part of  Filature Fonty's global  eco-responsible approach, reviving the local  wool industry. It also  aims to rediscover other sheep-origin fibers,  with different  characteristics and qualities, in a world of knitting  wool dominated  and standardized by "all-merino".
 The name 1880 was  chosen on the  occasion of the 140th anniversary of the founding of the  Filature  Fonty. It was around this period that the first synthetic  pigments  appeared, which revolutionized European textiles. The colors of  the  1880 series are inspired by the colors that were fashionable in  those  years and can be found in paintings from the second half of the  19th  century, for example in the Musée d'Orsay in Paris.
