We have another new yarn in the store.  Fresco is an Italian linen-viscose blend, from Borgo DePazzi.  It’s lightweight, has fantastic yardage, with a beautiful sheen,  great drape, and just a bit of textural interest.  We recommend a fairly loose gauge for light, airy summer garments & wraps, and the inexpensive price point makes it very suitable for larger garments.  Nina has already worked up a sample scarf in silver-gray, but the possibilities are endless.  Available in a range of solid and variegated colours.

If you are planning to attend the Yarn Tasting event on Saturday, Fresco will be one of the yarns we’ll be ‘tasting’.
