ULYSSE - PLUME

Ulysse is De Rerum Natura's gorgeous rustic sport weight yarn, crafted with sustainability at its core. Spun from 100% non-superwash European merino wool and dyed at their mill in France, every skein is a testament to slow, considered making. Their diverse, nature-inspired palette is dyed onto non-bleached wool, resulting in rich, nuanced colours with a depth and character that will make your finished project truly unique.

Commercially dyed yarn is dyed in large vats, usually made into large hanks of 1 kilo or more. The yarn is dyed to an extremely precise, all over colour using gradually rising heat. You can generally expect commercially dyed yarn to be very even and dye baths to be exact.

Commercially dyed yarn is wonderful for projects where you want a consistent, all over colour, or even colourwork pieces like fair isle or stranded knitting.

• Items made from 100% Wool should be washed by hand in cold or lukewarm water with a gentle rinse-free detergent. Use very little agitation when washing so as not to felt or full the fabric. Never wring or twist handmade woollen items when washing.
• Gently squeeze as much water as possible, roll in a towel and press moisture out. Then lay your finished piece flat to dry.

Wool does not need to be washed after every wear as it is a natural, breathable product. When you can see (or, rarely, smell) that a woollen item is in need of washing, follow the above instructions

Wool has countless benefits, including being

• 100% Natural
• Warm yet breathable
• Biodegradable
• Sustainable & Renewable
• Carbon Negative
• Flame retardant (safe for babies - and all humans)
• Wrinkle resistent
• Wicks water to the centre of the fibre keeping the fabric surface dry, even when damp
