Semi-Annual Clearance Sale - Today's Featured Yarn

Yarn of the Day - Classic Elite Fresco

Fresco is a smooth and even 3-ply sport weight yarn. The plies are twisted together tightly enough to make a firm, springy yarn, but not so tightly that the yarn loses its lofty, soft hand. The fiber blend—wool (for warmth and strength), alpaca (for loft and sheen), and a bit of angora (to provide a soft halo)—makes a yarn that’s warm, soft, and slightly fuzzy.

Fiber Content: 60% wool, 30% baby alpaca, 10% angora
Weight: Sport
Gauge: 6½ stitches= 1 inch on US 5 needles
Weight/Yardage: 50g/164 yards
