We highly recommend "Tempo" yarn by Filatura Di Crosa when you crave a beautifully hued self-striper with great pattern suport. Sensationally crafted in Italy of 51% cotton, 37% acrylic & 12% nylon, "Tempo" will keep you up to date with the latest fashion trends plus it's easy to knit and crochet. Just check out its lovely 3-strand construction -- a variegated print, a solid-hued thick & thin for contrast & a classic tweed with nubby flecks of color -- and you're sure to agree. "Tempo" yarn delivers fabulous multi-texture, multi colors & multi patterning all in the same yarn!
