Sale of the Week

Dream in Color Yarn's distinctive dyeing has made Classy, their worsted-weight, machine washable yarn, a designer favorite. Classy brings color to your work but is never too loud to overpower your designs.



The Mondo Cable Cardi by one of our favorite designers, Bonne Marie Burns of Chic Knits, shows how Classy can add interest to a simple and chic sweater.



The Pembroke vest, unbearably cute free pattern from Kristin Kapur, has lots of cheerful color but never distracts from the cable pattern.



Knit to fit maven, Amy Herzog, created this flatteringly fitted sweater based on Elizabeth Zimmermann's Baby Sweater on Two Needles (more commonly known as the February Baby Sweater) from The Knitter's Almanac. The color is rich but the pattern stays clear.

Classy is 15% off through October 9.
