De Rerum Natura Ulysse

De Rerum Natura Ulysse – Soft Strength, Rooted in Tradition

Ulysse is a yarn that carries a sense of place - thoughtful, grounded, and beautifully made. A lighter companion to Gilliatt, this woolen-spun yarn is crafted from a careful blend of French Mérinos d’Arles and Portuguese black merino, bringing together softness, resilience, and a gentle, rustic character.

Spun with two well-twisted strands, Ulysse creates a fabric that is light, softly fluffy, and full of life. It holds structure beautifully while still feeling supple in the hand, making it a joy for everything from colourwork to textured stitches. Whether you’re knitting delicate cables, subtle lace, or intricate fair isle, Ulysse offers clarity, warmth, and quiet depth.

The colour palette reflects its origins - from natural shades born from blending white and brown fleeces, to softly heathered tones dyed with care. Every skein carries a sense of harmony, never loud, always considered.

Produced with a strong commitment to traceability and sustainability, Ulysse is made through a short, transparent supply chain across France and Europe, honouring both the fibres and the hands behind them.
