Classic Elite Firefly is a beautiful yarn with stunning color palette (2 pages worth!). I have used it a couple times already, and I recommend it highly. Firefly is a sophisticated, dressy yarn and surprisingly supple to knit with. However if shiny yarn isn’t your look, think crisp summery yarns: linen, hemp and cotton yarns with lots of drape for alternatives.
It’s so pretty! I don’t get every issue of knitscene, but this one has so many lovely patterns I’m quite sure I need it!
