HOW IT'S MADE
Cyrano is made from a mixture of French Arles and Portuguese Black Merino sheep, raised with concern for the animal's well-being, and safe gathering of their wool. All the manufacturing stages of this wool are carried out in a short circuit (France and Portugal for sourcing, Belgium and Italy for washing, France for spinning and dyeing) with a focus on traceability and environmental consciousness.
De Rerum Natura is a French brand dedicated to beautiful natural fiber yarns, with quality and traceability at the forefront. The brand is very transparent about where all their fibers are sourced from, as well as where they are milled and dyed. The dyes used on all their yarns comply with the European REACH standard, which is the most restrictive in the world. You can learn more about De Rerum Natura here.
