Alice is a soft and sophisticated 4ply blend of Merino d’Arles and linen. The yarn is worsted spun to increase the strength and softness of the fibres and twisted into three strands to create a balanced, rounded yarn that remains supple.
With 216 m / 50 g, it is at the lighter end of 4ply and can be knitted very tightly for durable socks without synthetic material, or more loosely for sweaters and accessories that will benefit from the drape of the linen. The natural springiness of the Arles merino gives the yarn a beautiful elasticity, while the linen adds a subtle shine and a feel that is so pleasant against the skin.
It can be knitted on its own for lightweight projects, but also doubled for durable, soft jumpers, or held with a lace weight mohair yarn to play with textures and colours.
Alice yarn is spun and dyed near Biella in Italy with GOTS-certified dyes.

Please note:
The colours of Candide are obtained from a complex process that involves dyeing the wool before spinning with natural dyes. This means there may be slight variations in shade within the same production batch. Before knitting, it is recommended you check the colour consistency in the balls you have and to alternate them if necessary (as you would with hand dyed yarns).
Also, natural dyes are more fragile than synthetic dyes. These colours are likely to change over time as they soften slightly. De Rerum Natura have selected the most resistant plants and natural extracts but they advise avoiding exposing the balls or knitted garments for a long time to direct sunlight.
Lastly, the colour "grand bleu", which contains a high concentration of indigo, may bleed slightly when knitted. Indigo pigments are non-toxic and even have beneficial anti-bacterial properties. This excess dye is easily washed off with soapy water.
