The post Let’s Get (Super) Chunky: Malabrigo Caracol & Rasta appeared first on fibre space.

Formerly a 3-ply DK/light worsted weight, Dream State’s new version is now a 2-ply true worsted weight, adding more substance to your stitches. The updated construction creates long, smooth color changes throughout each skein, similar to yarn siblings Dyed In The Wool and Plump.

Let’s take a closer look at the new changes and discuss what they mean for Dream State fans!

Here, we see the original 3-ply version of Dream State on the left, compared with the new 2-ply version on the right. The new base is fuller and plumper, with less marling and longer, smoother color transitions. The yarn label has gotten a stylish upgrade too!

In this side-by-side swatch of Caitlin Hunter’s Easy V pattern, we can see the difference–in original Dream State on the left, the stitches are less full and more open, while in new Dream State on the right (knit at the same gauge), the plumper stitches are snuggled together to create a dense, firm fabric.

What does this mean for you as a crafter?

If you’re looking at patterns written for original Dream State (published before Fall 2026), keep in mind that new Dream State will stitch up into a heavier fabric when worked at the same gauge. Swatch first—if your finished fabric feels too stiff for your liking, you may need to adjust your needle size and do some pattern math, or choose a similar pattern written for a looser gauge (think 16-18 stitches = 4″ vs. OG Dream State’s 20-22 stitches = 4″). Keep reading for pattern recommendations!

Tip: Before starting a new project, do a quick label check to make sure your Dream State skeins are all the same version. (Plain logo = original version, swirly logo = new version).

What’s staying the same? Dream State is still hand-dyed and spun in Bellingham, Washington, from soft US-grown wool. Each skein is still 150 yards, still available in your favorite Spincycle colorways, and now in a 2-ply worsted-weight base that’s so bouncy it’ll have you floating on clouds!

The new Dream State will arrive here at fibre space later this fall, and we will keep you posted on when it lands! In the meantime, we have loads of the original Dream State—including in our exclusive Royal Mile colorway, shown below on Danielle’s Old World Sweater. Be sure to buy your favorite colorways of the old base now, before they disappear!

This lofty woolen-spun 2-ply yarn is made three colors at a time at Fonty’s 145-year mill, one of the last remaining wool factories in France. As the Fonty team describes it:

To make this yarn, an initial blend of 95% wool and 5% mohair is first prepared. A portion of this blend is dyed in a selected color. Three blends are then made in three different proportions using unbleached wool from the initial blend. This process yields three heathered, cohesive, and subtly shaded blends, ready for carding.

Blending is essential for preparing the wool fibres before they pass through the carding machines. Using numerous machines with sometimes ominous names (“cage,” “beater,” “wolf,” “cyclone,” etc.), they are opened, aerated, turned inside out, stirred, and stretched to increase their volume. Simultaneously, 100% wool “buttons” are dyed in a dozen different colors, and a multicolored button blend is created.

During the carding of the three heathered blends, the multicolored buttons are randomly distributed across the carding cloths. The carding machine transforms the raw fibres into a uniform sheet of wool. The carding machine consists of numerous components, the main ones being many rollers covered with small, sharp metal teeth that brush the fibers, each fulfilling a specific function.

This process is demanding, difficult, and requires very strict discipline to control the risk of contamination of the spinning lines with the colored fibres. But it offers a tremendous qualitative and aesthetic advantage: the final color is deep, rich, and luminous, with a subtle heathered effect, like a stormy sky on a masterpiece painting. The result is 100% natural fibre yarns that are heathered, tweedy, subtly shaded, and cohesive, while minimizing the impact of dyeing.

An all-natural tweed yarn that comes in a gorgeous color range and is machine washable? All we can say is, “Superbe!“.

De Rerum Natura’s gorgeous, sustainable yarns are made from Mérinos d’Arles wool from France, black Merino wool from Portugal, flax from France and Belgium, and other ethically sourced natural fibers, spun and dyed in France and Italy with a firm commitment to traceability and reducing the impact of production on the environment.

We’re excited to have a hefty restock of lace weight Bérénice, sport weight Ulysse, and worsted weight Gilliatt just in time for Fall stitching!

Let’s take a look at each of these special yarns (along with some seasonal pattern inspiration, of course!).

Bérénice

Lace weight Bérénice is a unique blend of extra-fine South African mohair and organic French Merinos d’Arles wool, spun into loops around a strong, shiny silk yarn, then combed for a fluffy, voluminous look and feel. Worked up on its own, it creates diaphanous, frothy fabrics, and adds shine, softness, and a delicate halo to other yarns when held together. (See De Rerum Natura’s suggestions for combining Bérénice with their woolen-spun yarns here.)

Yarn Details

• Lace weight
• 55% Responsible Mohair Standard certified super kid mohair, 25% mulberry silk, 20% organic Merinos d’Arles wool
• 230 yards (210 meters) per 25-gram ball
• US #1-4 (2.25–3.5 mm) needles or C/3–F/5 (2.75–3.75 mm) crochet hook
• 28-30 stitches x 34-48 rows = 4”
• Hand wash, dry flat
• $14.50, in-store & online

Ulysse

Sport weight Ulysse is woolen-spun from a blend of white French Mérinos d’Arles and black Portuguese Merino wool, sourced with concern for the well-being of the animals and preserving the unique breed-specific qualities of their wool. Light, soft and delicately fluffy, Ulysse’s 2-ply twist is perfect for colorwork, cables, and beautifully rustic lace, in colors ranging from natural undyed shades to subtle fleece-dyed heathers.

Yarn Details

• 100% Merino wool

Our Pattern Picks

Brumeuil

The De Rerum Natura team says: “A cloud on your shoulders! The soft and light Brumeuil sleeveless cardigan designed by MarGueNée in Bérénice is knitted seamlessly with a pretty pattern on a reverse stockinette background and a neat i-cord border for the button placket. Bérénice is held double for a very cozy result and a project that comes together quickly. With its deep V-neck and generous armholes, it will be perfect for warming up a shirt that is a little light for the season and can also be worn over a tank top when spring arrives. Our sample is knitted with Bérénice ‘eucalyptus’ and ‘brume’ held together, which gives it a beautiful deep aquatic effect. We hope this pattern will inspire you to imagine new shades!”

Gulliver

The De Rerum Natura team says: “The talented Nadia Crétin-Léchenne has been kind enough to choose Ulysse to kick off the new season with the utterly charming Gulliver: a little jumper just the way we like them, knitted seamlessly with an elegant raglan line designed to follow the shape of the shoulder—and the perfect canvas for playing with colors if the mood takes you. Nadia chose the lovely quartet of ‘poivre et sel’, ‘quartz’, ‘érable’ and ‘forêt’ for her really cool striped version.”

BonBon Cardi Long Sleeve

The De Rerum Natura team says: “The BonBon Cardi in Ulysse is a cardigan with a classic look, but with a comfortable, slightly relaxed fit that gives it a modern twist. Its special charm comes in particular from its delicate scalloped edges and its pretty, romantic openwork pattern, whilst remaining simple to knit.”

Type V Cardigan

The De Rerum Natura team says: “Here is our collaboration with designer Noriko Ichikawa, the Type V Cardigan in Gilliatt! We really love its volume, its slightly cropped length, and the clever design of the neckline where everything falls perfectly. The V-neck cardigan is knitted from the top down, creating a relaxed yet stylish silhouette with a generous fit throughout the body and sleeves. The design combines deep armholes and a cropped body length with a subtly shaped back hem created using short rows for a modern, polished look. With its comfortable fit and relaxed vibe, it looks just as good worn over a simple T-shirt as it does layered over thicker tops as a cozy mid-season jacket.”

It is knitted seamlessly, starting with a turtleneck collar and continuing with deep raglan sleeves discreetly highlighted by grouped increases that give it a lot of style.
