Tiffany yarn from Filatura Di Crosa


Tiffany
is a metallic tweed with texture and color. The tone-on-tone colorways lend a subtle sophistication to this glamorous yarn. Tiffany has great drape which makes it ideal for light, fashionable garments, and it feels silky next to the skin, too. 

 

Tiffany's tweedy fiber blend is primarily cotton, with just enough metallic glam mixed in. This fiber blend delivers a yarn that knits into a versatile fabric you will love to wear!

Tiffany pattern collection

The Filatura Di Crosa Tiffany Collection features four new designs to get you started knitting trendy metallic looks for yourself. These simple garments are made special by the subtle shimmer and nubby texture of Tiffany yarn. Even simple stockinette stitches make a strong statement when they are worked in a yarn with such glittering character!   

 

This design collection includes a colorwork tunic (shown on the cover, at right), a racerback swing tank, a striped shell and the all-seasons cardigan pictured in the introduction to this email. All of these garments simple to knit but pack a lot of punch because the Tiffany fabric is so eye-appealing!
