De Rerum Natura Gilliatt
Gilliatt is a classic worsted weight woolen yarn made with the signature blend of soft white French (Mérinos d’Arles from Provence) and black Portugese Merino (Merinos Petra from Alentejo Valley) produced in France by De Rerum Natura. Like all of their yarns, every step of the making of this yarn is carried out in a sustainable and traceable way to reduce its impact on the environment.
Yarn details:
- 100% French Merino
- Worsted weight
- 270 yards (250 m) per 100 gram ball
-
17.0 to 19.0 sts = 4 inches on US#6-8 (4-5mm)
- Hand wash in warm (not hot) water with gentle soap. Lay fabric flat to air dry.
In your hands:
Made up of three well-twisted strands, it is a round, soft and satisfying fluffy yarn which is perfect for about everything from ocean of jersey to intricate cables.
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.
