All these criteria lead me to search for an EPV “Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant” (Living Heritage Company). And if possible, an environmental project with social and ethical implications. I was working as a manager in the aeronautics industry, and since 2016 I was looking for a business to take over with a few simple requirements: A small team, unique and traditional skills, beautiful products, a dimension that is industrial and artisanal and a project that could also give more meaning to my work. I hope that you will find it as inspiring as I did!Ĭan you share a few words about you and tell us how you came to be the owner of Fonty? I learned so much in it about this yarn company and spinning mill, its unique skills, jobs and their projects. It’s really soft and round and gives amazing textures, so I took this opportunity to create some intricate textures on this scarf!īenoît de Larouziere, the owner of Fonty, has agreed to answer some questions in an interview that you can read below. It’s a yarn that is 100% ecological, made locally, undyed, from fleeces of Arles and Portuguese merino sheeps raised locally. I knitted their yarn Fado to create the Gothique Fleuri Scarf. Fonty is a bit different from the other companies that I chose because it’s a bit bigger, way older, and it is also a spinning mill which work is really important in the promotion of local natural yarn in France, so that’s why I wanted to introduce them to you! For the Terroir collection, I wanted to showcase small yarn companies, the beautiful people behind them and local initiatives to promote natural yarns.
