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.
