A blend of French mérinos d'Arles from Provence and black Portuguese merino from Alentejo valley raised with a concern for animal welfare and the valorisation of their wool. All the manufacturing stages of this yarn are carried out in a short circuit to guarantee traceability and minimal environmental impact.
Made up of two well-twisted strands, Ulysse is a light, soft and delicately fluffy yarn which is perfect for fair isle and colourwork as well as intricate cables or rustic lace.
Colours range from natural blends of brown and white fleeces to subtly heathered and dyed in fleece colours.
Not superwash treated. Handwashing, without rubbing or stretching, in warm water with a mild detergent recommended.
Very dark or particularly saturated colours are more likely to bleed during blocking. Repeat rinse bath if you find excess dye in the first wash.
Swatch test recommended when dark/saturated colours are knitted with lighter colours.
