Notes from the Yarnie:

This is some wild stuff... and we adore it. It's hip, it's cool. We found it in the warehouse of a small independent yarn producer in Tuscany, and these things caught our eyes. This particular producer makes novelties in small batches and limited colorways, letting their creativity and the thread on hand guide them.

When we first saw this yarn, we asked the producer if they were inspired by Noro's yarns, and they had never heard of Noro. We brought them some I had in the car, and they were shocked at the likeness.

If you have a hippie, a hipster, or just a hip guy or gal in your life, this would be a great yarn for the next project you create for them.

For reference: "Alta Fantasia": High fantasy. A classification of wild novelty yarn.

"Fiammato": the term this producer uses for less wild novelty yarn.

"Misto Lana": Mixed wool.
