Bérénice is a unique blend of extra-fine Angora goat fibres from South African farms committed to animal welfare and organic Merinos d'Arles spun into loops around a strong, shiny silk yarn. It’s combed to give a tousled, voluminous look.

The yarn is dyed using ecological dyes that comply with Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) specifications to reduce its environmental impact and is manufactured in Italy.

Bérénice was created to enrich the textures and colours of De Rerum Natura’s yarns and open up new horizons for them. Combined with Ulysse, Gilliatt, and Cyrano, Bérénice adds a discreet shine and irresistible softness.

It's also a beautiful lace yarn on its own. Use it to create a diaphanous, floaty garment— a shawl or cardigan, perhaps?
