Located in the Portuguese village of Mira del Aire, Rosários 4 has been dyeing and spinning yarns since the 1970s, carrying on a rich regional heritage of textile production. With eco-friendly, natural fibre yarns designed for knitting, crochet, embroidery, and traditional Arraiolos tapestry work, we can’t get enough of their ever-growing lineup: meet Lar, Doce Lar!
“Lar doce lar” is Portuguese for “home sweet home”, a fitting name for this colorful yarn! Part of Rosários 4’s Ecofriendly Collection, this 100% cotton worsted weight’s vibrant shades are ideal for summery hats, totes, tops, and home goods. (You’ve been asking for an affordable workhorse cotton in worsted, and now we’ve found it for you!)
