De Rerum Natura Bérénice

Bérénice combines extra-fine Angora goat fibers sourced from ethically responsible South African farms with the soft, lush wool of organic Merinos d'Arles. These fibers are spun in loops around a lustrous, durable silk core and carefully combed to achieve a rich, textured volume. The yarn undergoes dyeing with eco-friendly, GOTS-compliant dyes, ensuring a refined product with a reduced environmental footprint.

On the needles:
Bérénice was created to enrich the textures and colours of our yarns and open up new horizons for them. Combined with Ulysse, Gilliatt it makes them discreetly shiny and irresistibly soft.

Whether tone-on-tone or playing on more adventurous contrasts, these combinations add depth and a new sparkle to the palette of our yarns and make you want to rediscover them in a new range of projects and gauges.

It's also a beautiful lace yarn, very fluffy without being too hairy, which when knitted on its own creates a diaphanous, frothy material that's very inspiring.
