Kelly knit this beautiful Yoki (modeled here by her daughter) in Ulysse in the perfect shade of grey, Goéland. Top-down with a boxy fit and drop-shoulder sleeves, Yoki is a super versatile and wearable sweater pattern.
It's designed by Marianne Munier and can be found in our Making Stories Magazine Issue 5.
Hanna Lisa knit both the Joy Cardigan and the Rebel Mittens from our Kids Collection in De Rerum Natura's Ulysse as it's the perfect yarn for baby and kid knits! Super soft, yet durable, and in a broad range of colors.
You can find the patterns in our Kids Collection as well as individual PDFs in our webshop.
Tsubaki - camellia japonica - is an saddle-shoulder pullover with large, gorgeous cables, worked without ever cutting yarn. Wonderful construction and stunning outcome - designed by Hiroko Fukatsu!
Alexandre II is a top-down raglan cardigan designed by Naoko -n'ami- Ogawa that's perfect for kids! Hanna Lisa made one for her little one - the stockinette stripes and the contrasting hem, cuffs and buttonband are so fun, and provide endless options to combine the wonderful colors of Ulysse.
Maxim Cyr's Hide and Peak sweater is an an easy-breezy stranded colourwork sweater that is knitted top down with the option of either long or cropped sleeves. With its unisex shaping and 9 sizes, it's the perfect opportunity to play with lots of beautiful Ulysse colors.
Lovely yarn to work with. Would definitely use it again
this merino yarn is magical—i’ve never touched one so bouncy and full of life!
I love this yarn. It took it's sweet time getting here but it was worth it! I would order again - both the yarn and from this source!
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.
I just received the shipment of Ulysses and have not yet cast on with it. Can't wait to try it!
