Beautiful organic linen!
De Rerum Natura Antigone is a stunning sport-weight linen yarn made from carefully twisted and combed fibers. This yarn has a smooth, silky texture, which makes it feel refreshing to work with. Working with a loose gauge highlights the yarn's beautiful drape while working with a tighter gauge produces even stitches. Antigone is perfect for making garments and accessories that feature textured stitches, cables, and lace detail, as the yarn will hold its shape beautifully, showcasing these elegant stitches.

De Rerum Natura's website states, "This yarn is made from flax grown in Normandy by the Terre de Lin cooperative as part of a project to return to ancient cultivation practices aimed at preserving the soil and producing high-quality fibers without chemical inputs. These long fibres are wet-spun in Lithuania with great care to create a regular, soft, and naturally shiny yarn. The yarn is then twisted and dyed in France in the Creuse region."
