If it could be said that a yarn might have a personality, then it would be said that the character of Prism is simply magical. Appropriately named for the piece of glass than can finesse a rainbow out of seemingly simple light, we have taken and married two unique strands of wool and cotton after a process of double dying and created a yarn which stands alone in beauty and presence. The colours cross fade across the yarn resulting in a tweedy look with a soft touch. Prism is perfect for garment construction for any age or gender; you will find it as sturdy as it is attractive. A 100g skein is 120m/131yd. Here’s to a bit of rainbow-making!
