Born from the desire for traceable, ethical yarn spun, dyed & sourced in France, 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. Cool, crisp summer knits come to life knit in Antigone. The sport weight yarn is meticulously spun & dyed with environmentally friendly linen grown in France without chemicals. Composed of 10 strands of twisted, combed linen, the yarn is perfect for tops, tees, cardigans & scarves with the perfect amount of structure & drape. It is also a wonderful choice for beach totes, market bags & handbags. Antigone has a delicate sheen & gets softer after every wear & wash.
