Alice in (yarny) Wonderland
Jun 9th 2026
We welcomed a new yarn from De Rerum Natura to our shelves this month!
Alice is a fingering weight blend of Merinos d'Arles sheep and linen, all raised and milled locally in France and Belgium. The springy wool and luminous linen are combed and spun together, combining their durability and softness into one unique yarn.
Alice (named after Lewis Carroll's curious heroine) uses ecological dyes that comply with GOTS specifications to reduce environmental impact. This beautiful yarn is released seasonally as the linen is available, and we currently have excellent stock while supplies last! Not sure what to make? Read on for the project we can't wait to cast on in this special yarn!

The Back Yoke Tee was designed as a versatile piece for transitional seasons. This clever top features a split yoke, with the shoulders and top back worked sideways. Stitches are then picked up for the front and the back, and joined to work in the round. The folded edges give such a nice finish to this elegant piece made in De Rerum Natura Alice yarn.

Multi-Season Blends
 |
 |
| Wooldreamers Saona is a fingering weight blend of 50% Andalusian Cotton and 50% Traceable Local Wool. We just got a sample of Air Tee by Ozetta made up and it is the perfect Summer Top! | Dandoh Silk+ is always a summer best seller! It combines silk and cotton in a DK weight yarn that Yumiko shows to it's full potential in garments like the Bamboo Top, on loan to us until the end of June! |

| Knitting for Olive Cotton Merino is another seasonal classic. The 70/30 blend of cotton and merino is lightweight, with enough elasticity to still be a joy to knit. These fun colors call for polkadots, like in Hey Sailor by Andrea Mowry. | Another French brand, Fonty Soyeuse combines a luminous 30% silk with 70% merino for a plump round yarn with a delicate, silky sheen. There is nothing better than a one-ball shawlette; try Solange for a quick, lacy pop of color! |

 |
| Woolfolk Brise is another DK blend, this time combining merino and cotton for a bouncy, heathered charm. There are many project ideas for Brise, but our current favorite is Bowen, a trendy, pop-over layer for all seasons. | One of the yarns we brought back with us from Denmark is Isager Merilin! You will see more about this yarn soon, but needless to say, we loved this wool/linen sport weight too much to leave behind! It thrives in combination with other yarns, like in the Field Pullover by Helga Isager. |
