La Bien Aimée recently began hand-dyeing Gilliatt, the famous worsted weight base from French yarn company De Rerum Natura, and we are so proud to be one of the few US shops to carry it! A natural yarn produced in France, Gilliatt is woolen spun from soft French Merino d'Arles and Black Portuguese wool. The latter gives the base a naturally heathered look which gives beautiful depth to La Bien Aimée's signature colors.
Gilliatt is a Non-Superwash Merino yarn and offers very generous yardage of 250m/approx. 270yds per 100g skein. It's a beautiful option for classic sweaters and winter accessories; it's strong, long lasting, does not grow with blocking, and makes cables and colorwork absolutley pop!

About Unwind
We are a luxury yarn boutique where community and craft intertwine. Ours is a creative space for makers who share a love of hand-dyed fibers, quality tools, and the myriad ways that knitting and crochet inspires connection.
I really love the stitch definition this yarn provides. It is easy to work with - I am using it for a sweater that incorporates a seed stitch and it is perfect. And you can’t go wrong any La Bien yarn.
