Just landed! A fresh delivery of a shop-favorite summer yarn: De Rerum Natura Antigone. We are thankful to have received a good restock of it from France, including four new colors!

• “Mandarine” (mandarin), a joyful and fruity orange
• “Lilas” (lilac), a soft, grey violet
• “Lune” (moon), a light, silver grey
• “Laurier” (laurel), a warm dark vegetable green

This organic linen is made from 10 strands of combed flax. Antigone is spun in Italy, then dyed in Creuse, France. Machine washable on delicate cycle, Antigone will soften up with each wash and wear and become more of a seasonal favorite every year!
