The Brand

This STUNNING yarn was recommended to us by our lovely customers, and we're so grateful!

Antigone is a beautifully refined 100% organic linen yarn, spun with care in Europe and designed to be both elegant and hard-wearing.

Linen is one of the oldest and most sustainable fibres in the world, known for its breathability, strength, and the way it softens and develops character over time. Unlike some linen yarns, Antigone has a round, smooth structure that knits up with incredible stitch definition, creating fabric that’s fluid, drapey, and wonderfully comfortable against the skin.

This sport-weight yarn with its delicate yet durable hand is ideal for warm-weather garments and accessories—think breezy tops, airy cardigans, and timeless shawls. It has a cool, dry feel that naturally wicks moisture, making it perfect for layering in spring and summer.

Here's a Ravelry folder full of patterns for this lovely yarn!

Unlike some linens, Antigone has a refined softness from the start, with none of the stiffness you might expect. It glides effortlessly on the needles, producing fabric that’s breathable, light, and comfortable against the skin. Over time, it softens and develops a lived-in elegance, making it an ideal choice for timeless wardrobe staples.

De Rerum Natura is committed to sustainability. The linen used in Antigone is organically grown in France and Belgium without artificial irrigation, then spun and dyed in a carefully controlled process to minimise environmental impact. The result is a yarn that’s fully biodegradable, responsibly produced, and a joy to work with.
