Lot includes 5 skeins, all brand new! Same dye lot.
This yarn is made from the wool of Arles merinos raised in organic farming in Provence and from cotton recycled on the spot by the spinning mill thanks to a patented technique that preserves the length of the fibres.
To create this palette, part of the wool is dyed with natural plant extracts (indigo, chestnut, reseda, madder and cochineal) selected for their shade and strength. The dyed and unbleached yarns are then mixed to create the colour range according to the chosen blends and then woolen spun.
The range includes two undyed colours: the unbleached "sucre glace" colour and the "nougat" colour which is a blend of 60% unbleached Arles merino / 10% black French merino and 30% recycled cotton.
This yarn was dyed and spun in France in the Tarn region by companies with the "living heritage company" label.
Please note: There may be a difference in shade between balls for this yarn due to the particular dyeing process used for De Rerum's Robinson and Candide range.
The specificity of this plant dyeing process implies slight variations in shade within the same production batch/dye lots which is why it's recommended to consider this yarn more as a hand-dyed yarn and to alternate the skeins if necessary.
