Brnice is a unique blend ofextra-fine Angora goat fibresfrom South African farms committed toanimal welfareand the soft, plump wool of De Rerum Natura'sorganic Merinos d'Arles, spun into loops around a strong,shiny silk yarn, then combed to give the desired tousled, voluminous look.
The yarn is then dyed using ecological dyes that comply with GOTS specifications to reduce its environmental impact. De Rerum Natura manufactures this very special yarn in Italy, near Biella.
Brnice was created toenrich the textures and coloursof De Rerum Natura's yarns and open up new horizons for them. Combined withUlysse,GilliattandCyrano, it makes them discreetly shiny and irresistibly soft; combinedwithAlbertineandPnlope, it gives them lightness and voluptuousness for a precious knitting experience and creations.
Whethertone-on-toneor playing onmore adventurous contrasts,these combinations adddepthand anew sparkleto the palette of their yarns and make you want to rediscover them in anew range of projects and gauges.
It's also abeautiful lace yarn, very fluffy without being too hairy, which when knitted on its own creates a diaphanous, frothy material that's very inspiring.
Brnice is named after the sublime eponymous heroine of Racine's tragedy.
