Antigone Linen by De Rerum Natura

Voici la traduction en anglais :

Made from ten tightly twisted strands of combed linen, Antigone has a smooth, silky feel and a delightfully cool touch. This yarn can be knitted with small needles for a clean, even fabric, or at a looser gauge to take advantage of its natural drape, making it suitable for a wide range of projects.

It is perfect for knitting mid-season sweaters and lightweight tops for warmer days, a lace cardigan to pair with a lovely dress, or even for crocheting a market bag!

This yarn is made from linen grown in Normandy by the Terre de Lin cooperative, as part of a project to revive traditional farming practices aimed at preserving the soil and producing high-quality fibers without chemical inputs. These long fibers are wet-spun in Lithuania with great care to create a smooth, soft, and naturally lustrous yarn. The yarn is then twisted and dyed in France, in the Creuse region.

Care:

Particularly durable, linen loves to be washed and worn; it becomes softer over time, allowing you to enjoy your favorite garments for many seasons.

It is recommended to machine wash your knit on a delicate cycle and lay it flat to dry to prevent stretching.
