De Rerum Natura Cyrano
Cyrano is a classic woolen yarn that works up beautifully at an Aran to light Bulky gauge. Made with De Rerum Natura’s signature blend of soft white French Merino (Mérinos d’Arles from Provence) and black Portugese Merino (Merinos Petra from Alentejo Valley), every step of the making of Gilliatt is carried out in a sustainable and traceable way to reduce its impact on the environment.
Yarn details:
- 100% French Merino
- Bulky weight
- 164 yards (250 m) per 100 gram ball
- 14 to 16 sts = 4 inches on US #9-11 (5.5-8mm)
- Hand wash in warm (not hot) water with gentle soap. Lay fabric flat to air dry.
In your hands:
The bouncy, round ply of Cyrano makes it easy to work with and versatile for a wide variety of projects. Cables hold their structure and have great ‘pop’, colorwork stitches grip for a nice even fabric, and textured patterns are easy to visualize.
It’s a yarn that easily forgives irregularities, doesn’t split and stays securely on the needles, making it an excellent choice for beginners as well. Cyrano is a fantastic workhorse yarn for garments or accessories.
