Knitting yarns BOUTON D’OR is one of Pierre de Loye's trademark.

Pierre de Loye was founded in 1770 in the south of France, by Pierre Alexis de Loye. Until the 1920's, the main activity consisted of spinning and throwing the naturel silk. Due to gradual use of chemical fibers replacing natural silk, Mr Pierre de Loye, a descendant of the company founder, built in 1926 a spinning mill in the city of Orange. The new mill exploited the new and developing spinning and dyeing technologies. Since this time, the company has continuously expanded, producing and selling knitting yarns made of the most noble raw material such as angora, alpaga, mohair, silk or pure wool. Nowadays, Pierre de Loye is considered in many countries as the leader in the high quality knitting yarns market.

BOUTON D'OR was created in 1928. Thanks to long experience, Bouton d'Or is now synonymous with high quality products. Moreover, the style of its patterns is both chic and easy to wear in all circumstances. Bouton d'or's products are nowadays distributed in the main industrialised countries ( Germany, Italy, Belgium, Japan, Holland, Switzerland, hong-kong, Spain...).
