Gilliatt by De Rerum Natura

De Rerum Natura's Gilliatt is a blend of white south-eastern French merino and black Portuguese merino from the Alentejo Valley in Portugal. This unique 3-ply blend is a soft and fluffy yarn available in natural blends from mixing the two fleeces, along with a range of dyed colors perfect for your next colorwork piece.

Gilliatt creates a warm, lightweight knitting fabric with great stitch definition, making it ideal for garments and accessories with texture, cables, and stockinette stitches! De Rerum Natura carefully manufactures this yarn in a short circuit to minimize environmental impact with wool sourced in France and Portugal, washed in Belgium or Italy, and spun and dyed in France.
