De Rerum Natura Antigone
De Rerum Natura Antigone
Few yarns can claim a story as good as Antigone’s. Named after “the one who says no” — Jean Anouilh’s fearless heroine — this is a linen yarn with genuine conviction: grown without chemical inputs in the fields of Normandy, wet-spun in Lithuania to draw out its natural lustre, then twisted and dyed in the Creuse region of France. The result is smooth, silky, and deliciously cool to the touch.
Ten strands of combed linen, well-twisted for a naturally fluid feel, Antigone knits up with crisp stitch definition on finer needles or opens into beautiful drape when worked more loosely — making it equally at home in structured lace, relaxed summer tops, and lightweight layering pieces. It softens beautifully with washing and wear.
Perfect for: lightweight jumpers, breezy cardigans, open-stitch tops, and market bags.
