Ulysse by De Rerum Natura
Ulysse is a carded wool yarn made from a blend of French white Arles merinos (Provence) and Portuguese black merinos (Alentejo Valley) raised with concern for the well-being of the animals and the valorization of their wool.
All stages of manufacturing this yarn are carried out in a short circuit (Belgium or Italy for washing, France for spinning and dyeing) with a constant desire for traceability and reduction of its impact on the environment.
Made up of two tightly twisted strands, it is a light, soft and delicately fluffy yarn which will be perfect for trying out jacquard, imagining fine cables or highlighting a beautifully rustic lace.
It is available in natural colours from the mixture of brown and white fleeces (“salt”, “white pepper”, “pepper and salt” and “pepper”), and in a palette of subtly mottled dyed colours.
