De Rerum Natura Gilliatt

£15.00

Gilliatt is a woolen spun yarn from De Rerum Natura, made from a blend of white French Mérinos d'Arles and black Portuguese merino.

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.

Made up of three well-twisted strands, it is a round, soft and satisfyingly fluffy yarn which is perfect for about everything from simple stockinette to intricate cables. It's also a yarn that easily forgives irregularities, doesn't split and stays securely on the needles, making it an excellent choice for beginners.

Gilliatt is named after the beautiful, stubborn and constructive hero of Victor Hugo's Travailleurs de la mer.
