We love all our yarns but we have a particular soft spot in our hearts for the family of De Rerum Natura yarns. Ulysses is the lightest in the range; a sport weight yarn with a 3 ply, rounded structure making it perfect for showing off cables, lace or miles of plump stocking stitch. Because it is woollen spun and contains a lot of trapped air, it is both generous in its yardage for its weight and functions well at a range of gauges. This is one of our go to yarns for garments and accessories alike.

For those people who love a yarn with an impressive and traceable heritage Ulysse does not disappoint. It is spun from white maco merinos descended from the Merino D’arles and Merino Rambouillet breeds. They are raised in the Alps of Haute-Provence. This wool is blended with fleece from black merinos from the Creuse which when overdyed gives the yarns a sophisticated tonal movement. The fleece is locally carded and spun using traditional techniques and equipment at the Rougnat spinning mill, minimising production miles.
