by Universal Yarns
A new look in a luxury yarn, with playful dashes of color. Cassatt is a light and lofty blend of baby alpaca, wool, nylon, and viscose that is spun in Italy,. It is constructed with a hollow core, and fine fibers are blown through for an ethereal halo. It is named in honor of Mary Cassatt, the famous American impressionist who worked in Paris with Monet and Degas. The colors are inspired by their popular impressionist painting. Beautiful speckles and tweedy nubs make this yarn all the more magical. Let this yarn inspire your new favorite garments and accessories!
