Antigone
![De Rerum Natura](https://assets3-d.ravelrycache.com/assets/835348163/Logo_transparent_gras._30._png_banner.png)
100% ecological linen, grown in Normandie (France) without chemical inputs
260 m (284 y.) / 100g env.
GAUGE ( 10 x 10 cm, 4 x 4” in stockinette) :
22 sts x 30 rows, 3 mm needles
Antigone is our first vegetable yarn.
Composed of ten strands of combed flax well twisted, its hand is smooth, silky and deliciously fresh.
It can be knitted with fine needles for a regular result or with larger needles to take advantage of its natural drape which allows it to adapt to a large number of patterns.
It will be perfect for knitting summer layette, mid-season sweaters and little tops for sunny days, a little lace cardigan to go with a pretty dress or even pick up a shopping bag!
Particularly resistant, linen likes to be washed and worn; it will become more and more soft over time and you can enjoy your favorite sweater many seasons.
This yarn is made from flax grown in Normandy by the Terre de lin cooperative as part of a project to return to ancient cultivation practices aimed at preserving the soil and producing high quality fibres without chemical inputs. These long fibres are wet-spun in Lithuania with great care to create a regular, soft and naturally shiny yarn. The yarn is then twisted and dyed in France in the Creuse region.
Antigone has been named after “the one who says no” to the plays of Jean Anouilh. It is advisable to wash your knitting machine, delicate cycle, and dry it flat to avoid it deforms.

Antigone est notre tout premier fil végétal !
Composé de dix brins de lin peigné bien retordus, son contact est lisse, soyeux et délicieusement frais. Il peut se tricoter avec des aiguilles fines pour un résultat bien régulier ou en déjaugé pour profiter de son drapé naturel ce qui lui permet de s’adapter à un grand nombre de modèles.
Il sera parfait pour tricoter de la layette d’été, des pulls de mi-saison et des petits hauts pour les beaux jours, un cardigan en dentelle pour aller avec une jolie robe ou même crocheter un sac à provision !
Particulièrement resistant, le lin aime être lavé et porté ; il se fera de plus en plus doux au fil du temps et vous pourrez profiter de vos pulls fétiches de nombreuses saisons.
Ce fil est fabriqué à partir du lin cultivé en Normandie par la coopérative Terre de lin dans le cadre d’un projet de retour aux pratiques de cultures anciennes visant à préserver les sols et à produire des fibres de haute qualité sans intrants chimiques. Ces longues fibres sont filées en mouillé en Lituanie avec beaucoup d’attention pour créer un fil régulier, doux et naturellement brillant. Le fil est ensuite retordu et teint en France dans la Creuse.
Antigone doit son nom à “celle qui dit non” des pièces de Sophocle et de Jean Anouilh.
Il est conseillé de laver votre tricot en machine, cycle délicat, et de le sécher à plat pour éviter qu’il ne se déforme.
