The Yarns
Firefly this warm-weather yarn has a subtle sheen and wonderful hand. A super blend of line and viscose.
Allegoro is part of Classic Elite’s eco-friendly Verde collection. A blend of organic cotton and linen that is soft with great stitch definition. Linen is a great warm weather fiber; it’s cool to wear. Because it takes up moisture rapidly, it wicks away dampness from your skin, and as the moisture evaporates from the fabric, it cools you.
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 looses 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.
