Gilliatt is a worsted-weight yarn that is super gentle and warm to the touch. Its soft texture and beautiful blend of natural colours make it a fantastic choice for cosy winter jumpers and accessories alike. Once knitted, it washes and wears beautifully, getting better and even softer as time goes on. Gilliatt truly is the ultimate combination of quality and sustainability.
With a constant focus on traceability and reducing their environmental impact, Gilliatt is a testament to the care and respect De Rerum Natura gives to the animals and their wool. This sustainably sourced yarn is the perfect choice for the eco-conscious crafter with its short-circuit manufacturing process. The fleeces are sourced from France and Portugal, washed in Belgium or Italy and spun and dyed in France.
Please note that very dark or particularly saturated colours such as “émeraude” are more likely to bleed during blocking. If knitting dark colours alongside light ones we suggest knitting and washing a swatch first. Before drying your work andy excess dye in the water should be removed by repeating the rinse bath until the water is clear .
For UK delivery, we use Royal Mail’s Tracked 24 and Tracked 48 services. Provided goods are in stock, every effort will be made to dispatch your order the next day during shop opening hours, 1-3 days when the shop is closed.
To give you the best results we always check the dye lot numbers match within each order. If for any reason it is not possible to complete your order using only one dye lot we will contact you as soon as possible.
