De Rerum Natura Ulysse Poivre

De Rerum Natura produces incredible yarns in a sophisticated, modern palette.  The yarns are small batch, artisan creations that knit into garments & accessories that will be treasured for a lifetime.  Slow fashion is exemplified in the laborious process to spin & dye each of the yarns.  All of the unbleached wool in De Rerum Natura yarns come from Arles Marino sheep.  The 21.5 micron wool is extremely soft, durable & has a gorgeous elasticity due to the pronounced crimp of the fleece.  These happy sheep pasture in the southeast of France with the best possible breeding practices. 

A delectable yarn for wool lovers, Ulysse is a warm blend of French Arles Merino & Portuguese Black Merino wool.  The yarn is spun in a fine, sport weight gauge that is ideal for multi-season garments & accessories.

Light & bouncy, the woolen-spun yarn is a perfect garment yarn that is a pleasure to knit & wear.  A well-rounded color palette provides beautiful options for a myriad of knit projects.  Pieces possess gorgeous character & life in the subtle heathers.
