Guest: Betsy Perry of Classic Elite Yarns talks about Classic Elite’s beautiful new fall yarns and fantastic pattern books.
Classic Elite Verde Collection Chesapeake, Classic Elite Kumara, Classic Elite Giselle (coming soon to the website!)
Classic Elite Weekend (which includes the Lace and Bobble Cardigan and the cowl sweater that Kathy and Betsy talked about), and all of the new Classic Elite pattern books.
Betsy also shares with us the new brand that Classic Elite is distributing by Veronik Avery. The yarn is St. Denis Nordique and it is supported by a lovely magazine with patterns by well-known designers. The yarn is made in the USA and is technically a sportweight, but it can be knit tightly or loosely to create different fabrics.
