Gilliatt

Description

De Rerum Natura Gilliatt is, like its little brother Ulysse, a woolen spun yarn made from a blend of white French Mérinos d'Arles (Provence) and black Portuguese merino (Alentejo valley) raised with a concern for the well-being of the animals and the valorisation of their wool.

All the manufacturing stages of this yarn are carried out in a short circuit (France and Portugal for sourcing, Belgium or Italy for washing, France for spinning and dyeing) with a constant desire for traceability and to reduce its impact on the environment.

Gilliatt is soft and springy, with elasticity that makes for a delightful knitting experience, and for lofty garments that hold their shape.

- please note that very dark or saturated colors such as "émeraude" are more likely to bleed during blocking. If you plan to mix colours, we recommend that you test a swatch first. If you find excess dye in the first wash, we recommend that you repeat the rinse bath until it is clear before drying your work
