Today I have some exciting news to share with you: De Rerum Natura has arrived at Cata Knits, and for the first time, their yarns are available in Chile.

I’ve been wanting to add this French brand to the shop for a long time. I love their approach to wool: highlighting the origin of the fibers, traceability, and production processes—and, of course, creating beautiful yarns for knitting.

For this first selection, I chose three of their yarns:

Gilliatt is a worsted-weight woolen-spun yarn made from French Merino d'Arles and Portuguese black Merino. It is lightweight and lofty, with plenty of body and beautiful stitch definition. It comes in 100 g / 250 m balls.

Ulysse could be described as Gilliatt’s finer sister. It is a lightweight and versatile 2-ply Sport weight yarn, beautiful for sweaters, cardigans, colorwork, textures, and lace. It comes in 50 g / 185 m balls.

Bérénice is the airiest of the three: a blend of Super Kid Mohair, silk, and organic Merino d'Arles. It can be knitted on its own or held with another yarn to add softness, volume, and that lovely mohair halo. It comes in 25 g / 210 m balls and pairs especially well with Ulysse and Gilliatt.

And the color selection… ❤️

For this first order, I wanted to start with a palette of neutrals, blues, natural tones, and easy-to-match colors, so that we can get to know these yarns—and everything we can create with them—together.

They are now available in the online store , and of course, you can also come to the showroom to see them, touch them, and view the colors in person.

I hope you like them as much as I do. I’m really looking forward to starting to knit with them and showing you ideas and combinations over the coming weeks.
