De Rerum Natura Candide
Candide is made from Merino d'Arles wool and recycled cotton. The addition of cotton brings softness and a fresh summer vibe to this sport-weight yarn. As well as an interesting texture and mottled appearance. It feels dry to the hand but will bloom and soften more after washing.
De Rerum Natura has created a palette of eleven colours. The range was achieved using natural plant extracts (indigo, chestnut, reseda, madder and cochineal) selected for their shade and strength. The dyed and unbleached yarns are mixed to create the colour range according to the chosen blends and then woolen spun.
Candide is recommended to be knit on a 2.5 - 3.5mm needle for a gauge of around 24 sts for 38 rows. It is ideal for textured stitches but also brings a lovely natural, and relaxed touch to stocking and garter stitch. It can be used for a wide range of patterns written for sport and DK weight yarn.

ADVICES & RECOMMENDED CARE
The colours in this range are obtained from a complex process of natural dyeing in wool which makes it possible to have slight variations in shade within the same production batch. Before knitting your project, we recommend checking the homogeneity of the colour between the balls and alternating them if necessary to distribute the colour nuances harmoniously.
Natural dyes are more "living" and fragile than synthetic dyes. These colours are likely to change over time as they soften slightly. We have selected the most resistant plants and natural extracts, but we advise you to avoid exposing your balls or knitted garments for a long time to direct sunlight.
The colour "grand bleu" (big blue), 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.
To preserve the natural qualities of the wool and to protect our environment, this yarn is not superwash treated. It is advisable to wash your knitted fabric in lukewarm water with a suitable soap or detergent, then leave it to dry flat, away from direct sunlight, and avoid rubbing or stretching. If you wish to test the cold wool programme of your washing machine, we advise you to do so first with your swatch.
