We have received Candide from De Rerum Natura in France.
This is a refreshing blend of 70% Arles Merino wool, renowned as the finest in Europe, and 30% recycled cotton. It is produced in an environmentally friendly way.
This yarn is soft and elastic, and easy to knit.
It feels nice against the skin, so it is recommended for kids and those who don't like the itchy feel of wool (please note that this will vary from person to person, so please try knitting it before purchasing enough for yourself).
The gentle, deep coloring is lovely.
Part of the wool is dyed with natural dyes, and the dyed wool, unbleached wool, and recycled cotton are spun together to create this fabric. It has a soft, whitish color that looks like it has been sugar-coated. The neps of the recycled cotton are cute, and they look great with both simple and patterned knitting.
