    • Created to reinvent local yarn and shape a future for more sheep in the mountains and more small and flourishing yarn mills
    • The entire production process is set up with a strong dedication to sustainability: From sourcing the fleeces to using a completely biodegradable and environmentally friendly conditioner in the mill

    One of the best yarns on the market.

    The title says it all, De Rerum Natura creates some of the best yarns being made today. Ulysse is a personal favorite. Soft, yet sturdy. Excellent colour palette. An all around wonderful yarn.
