De Rerum Natura Penelope

About De Rerum Natura Penelope

1. Penelope is a double knit weight wool and silk blend from De Rerum Natura.  It has a worsted spin which shows off its silky properties perfectly and the merino wool makes this a really luxurious yarn.  It's a very soft and strong yarn with beautiful drape and great elasticity.  Lovely to handle and knit and would be perfect for shawls, baby garments and of course adult garments.  This is suitable for wearing next to the skin.  The colours are classic and well put together.  This is a classy yarn!
