Robinson from De Rerum Natura

by

We are so excited to stock De Rerum Natura’s Robinson – a light worsted weight blend of organically grown wool from Merino s’Arles sheep and recycled cotton.
The cotton is being recycled via a unique process that takes old t-shirts and preserves the length of the fibers. To complete the project, de rerum is using natural dyes on this yarn. Part of the wool is dyed with natural plant extracts (indigo, chestnut, reseda, madder and cochineal) selected for their shade and strength. Two natural colors (“sucre glace” and “nougat”) have been added to the dyed range to highlight the natural colors of this wool.
