Combining RMS-certified Super Kid Mohair, luxurious mulberry silk, and organic French Mérinos d'Arles wool, Bérénice offers a lovely balance of softness, warmth, and lightness.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUnlike traditional mohair-silk blends, Bérénice includes a generous proportion of merino wool, giving the yarn a fuller, more substantial feel while maintaining its delicate, cloudlike character. The fibers are spun around a strong silk core and gently brushed to create a soft, voluminous halo without excessive fuzziness.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDesigned to complement De Rerum Natura's woolen-spun yarns, Bérénice transforms familiar favorites into something especially beautiful. Held alongside Ulysse, Gilliatt, or Cyrano, it adds softness, gentle luminosity, and richness of color while preserving the natural character of the wool. Whether paired tone-on-tone or in contrasting shades, the possibilities for creating unique fabrics are nearly endless.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBérénice is equally lovely knitted on its own, producing an ethereal, featherlight fabric with a soft, romantic finish.

Its blend of mohair, silk, and merino creates a beautifully soft halo without overwhelming the texture or character of the yarn beneath it. We're especially excited about pairing it with Gilliatt, Ulysse, and Cyrano, where even a subtle tonal combination can transform a familiar yarn into something extraordinary.
