De Rerum Natura Antigone is back in stock, along with some brand new colors!
Why is this linen so special?
It is made from flax grown in Normandy by the Terre de Lin cooperative as part of a project to return to ancient cultivation practices aimed at preserving the soil and producing high-quality fibres without chemical inputs. These long fibres are wet-spun in Lithuania with great care to create a regular, soft, and naturally shiny yarn. The yarn is then twisted and dyed in France in the Creuse region.
Washable!
Antigone is a linen that likes to be washed and worn! This yarn is machine washable on a delicate cycle, so all your projects will grow softer over time, aging beautifully with each wear.

We love this recently published design in Antigone. Zef is a top-down spring and summer top with a drop shoulder. It features a delicate but beautiful detail on the shoulders, while the body is worked quickly and easily in stockinette.
