Fresco
60% wool, 30% bab y a lpac a, 10% ango ra
Fresco is a smooth and even 3-ply sport
weight yarn. The p lies are t wisted tog ethertightly enough to make a firm, springy yarn,
but not so tightly that the yarn looses its lofty,
soft ha nd. The fibe r blendwoo l (for wa rmth
and strength), alpaca (for loft and sheen),
and a bit of angora (to provide a soft
halo)makes a yarn thats warm, soft, and
slight ly fuzzy. Fresc o is av ailab le in a pa lette
of 40 colors, which makes it great for color-
wo rk projects. How ever as you c an see from
this weeks project, the yarn is also beautiful
worked up in solid-color lacy patterns on a
larger needle.
